[Vision2020] Say What?

[lfalen]

Paul is right. There is a lot of cross over. A lot of those on the left are liberal to some extent. They support the freedom of the individual to be gay or lesbian, and support homosexual marriage. The Libertarians on the right, believe the individual should be free to do what they want, whether they agree with it or not. Drug policy cuts across both sides. There are those on both sides that favor and disapprove of the legalization of marijuana. There are those that are pro-life and pro-choice on both sides. The basic structure of the difference is that tle left favors big government solutions to problems. The right believes in solving problems by primarily using free market solutions, with only a minimum of regulations. They support individual freedom with in the bounds of doing no harm to others.
