Why does the left wing have so many personality cults?

[billhilly]

Sarah Palin for the repubs and Ron Paul for the libertarians.  Those lefties aren't the only ones who have personality cults.

Don't start. Everyone I posted is definitely leftist then and now.

In his day, Lincoln was certainly not a "leftist", nor TR.

I like how the right tries to hijack famous lefties and claim that they would be righties nowadays. It's a big lie, always has been and lie, always will be a lie. It's not history revisionism or anything of the kind.

You keep telling yourself that.

And the rah rah shit argument is old and inaccurate.

Sorry, but your Team Left! cheerleading, to the point that you would think that leftists are immune to conformism, is stupid.

For the record, I'm a centrist.  Of course, you'll call me a fascist for that admission.

Bullshit. Lincoln and TR were most definitely left.
I don't tell myself that. It is historical fact. Both fought the establishment conservative for progressive changes. I didn't and won't call you anything and stop calling me a cheerleader. If you can't handle the facts then sit back and learn something.

With St. Reagan as their figurehead.

(Reagan was a horrible president, but the righties worship him like he's lord gawd almighty.)

LBJ supported "civil rights," but he also escalated the Vietnam War. You win some, you lose some, right?
