Usually the labels come out to tag someone with a negative stereotype. If someone is tagged with "right wing" that means the left wing participants rally against this person based on that stereotype.

And what does Chan allegedly being Republican or right wing have to do with "Canceling Wright's Honorary Degree Unfair?"
I don't know and I agree with you to some extent but you don't get to shout about not being right-wing if you believe in small government and little government control in the economy.

Come to think about it, I am for small government in the context of Libertarian strict Constitutional interpretation. I am for disciplined spending, and I am for protecting the constitution. I have a America first agenda. Those are all benchmarks for traditional conservatism.

Does that make me a right winger?

You probably are on the right, yes.

But every time I come out against Bush or the Iraq War, I get labeled as a left winger, liberal or even commie. If I had the time, I could provide quotes from discussions here.

Not that it matters that much to me.

I am sure you can find the time. Show us where you get labled a left winger, liberal or even commie when you cone out and bash Bush. I haven't found any examples so far.

Sure, that may be true but they're obviously stupid if they're calling you a commie. No, you're probably in the centre of American politics but American politics is skewed to the right of most western nations but like you said it doesn't really matter.

I know this is off topic, but I'd label Michael a left leaning libertarian. That is that he believes in small government, with no or every little control on social issues and just some control (not alot, but some) on economic issues.

The political spectrum is much more than "left" and "right."

You're right. It's "off topic". And your point?

But you're the one always crying foul and bias when he moderates you. If you're a right wing partisan, which you've admitted, isn't claiming bias calling Michael a lefty?

There's a big difference between "moderating" and "dictating".

By the way, I have never admitted to being a right wing partisan, so your ignorant spin continues here. You always seem to get caught in your lies, this being one of them. Nor have I called Michael a "lefty", as you claim. Why do you constantly feel you need to label people on this thread?
