I keep hearing the Right /Republicans/ hate radio droning about Obama's "radical left-wing agenda."

[Kath1]

If left wing agenda = negotiations rather than war, GLBT rights, marriage equality, economic fairness, immigrant rights, health care reform, education, a clean environment and a woman's right to control over her own body then, PLEASE, count me in as a supporter of Obama's radical left-wing agenda!

Sounds much better to me than the right-wing agenda.

1. Most RWers probably don't even know what "radical" is.

Obama is a centrist with socially progressive leanings.....and governs slightly rightwards on economic and foreign policy matters. Hardly a "radical".

2. It only seems like that because...

... the Republicans are so farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr to the right.

left-wing if there's even one disagreement with their agenda.

7. Matt Taibi's op-ed on Walker may finally make clear who the radicals are.

"Walker's seeming comparison of peaceful union activists to head-chopping Islamic terrorists drew a predictable response, with progressive groups like American Bridge sending out alerts denouncing his comments, along with outrage from the Democratic National Committee.

But the National Review also called it an "unforced error," with writer Jim Geraghty taking special offense at the fact that Walker had forced him into a place where he had to defend, of all people, union activists. Even Rick Perry, not exactly a kumbaya-chanting paragon of tolerance, chided Walker for crossing a line:

These are Americans... You are talking about, in the case of ISIS, people who are beheading individuals and committing heinous crimes, who are the face of evil. To try to make the relationship between them and the unions is inappropriate."

Putting unions in the spotlight may well provide a return to sanity and concern for American labor.
