Why is GLP right-leaning?
I want to ask a serious question. Why is it that most here are conservatives? There are plenty of liberal doom-mongers like myself, surely. So why aren't there nearly as many here? It's all anti-government right-wingers it seems like.

I'm not complaining, I'm just seriously wondering how this came to be.

I read that as "night-leaning". Was going to ask you what that meant, oh, nevermind.

Seems to me that the scales started tipping when all the racist rants began. I think a lot of the libs bailed when that started up. I'm an independent that leans to the left on social issues, and to the right on fiscal policy : )

People who believe in conspiracies have a natural distrust.
So, of course they would not like an 'evil entity' dictating the terms of life to them.

I'm not a fan of the two-party paradigm either, but forgive me if using the conventional terms is uncool.

What I'm saying is that a lot of GLPers' viewpoints tend to go to what we consider the right. Call it what you want.

Yeah, fascism is actually an extreme left viewpoint. Many don't realize that.

Any belief taken to that kind of extreme is dangerous, IMO.

Nonsense. Fascism is a far-right ideology -- the mixing of government with corporations.

Communism is the far-left version of authoritarianism.

of course not, just like many people don't know what communism is, but throw the term around like it's going out of style.

chalk it up to profound ignorance.

Funny you say this now. Before the elections its was taken over by dems it seemed and Libs but I think it was just allot of posters that had fallen for Obama and was sticking up for him. Now that they have had a taste of what he is really all about they are have waken up. They are not right or left.

Re: Why is GLP right-leaning?
I guess you have not been here very long.

If you had been here when the polls were taken before the election it was about 70% FOR Obama. This site has always been a Left Wing leaning site.

People may be getting a little pissed off right now as they lose their jobs and houses but they will be still voting Democratic in 2010. Don't worry.....

Re: Why is GLP right-leaning?
it's just the peoples mind set in general

it changes

GLP is an excellent gauge of the times and the general consensus of the population as a whole at any moment in time

if you notice it leaning one way or the other it's just a refection of societies viewpoint as a whole

if you don't believe me then go back through the old months on GLP and look at the way it was leaning during different periods in time

it's all there to see in black and white

it might make you uncomfortable to see what's on peoples minds right now because you're on the other side

but when they were agreeing with you there was no problem

Well put...when the elections were going on? We were a bastion of left wing Liberals....we heard that determination more than once. Well the country went left, so there again, GLP was a barometer of the majority consensus of the general public.

Re: Why is GLP right-leaning?
It's only 'right-leaning" because of the party in power (excepting a few 'contributors').

Actually, it's more Anti-Federalist than anything. Check out some of their writings. They got their asses handed to them by the nationalists in 1789, but there are still strong anti-federalist traditions alive and well (for the time being) in the USA.
