Right wing, Left wing

[David1967]

So my son comes home from school last week telling me of a discussion in his history class concerning right wing and left wing rift in this country. After listening to the back and forth between students from both views, he said to me, "But Dad, we are both wings on the same bird, it cant fly with just one". I just thought that was wise coming from a young person.

Seems to me far to many people get so caught up in their own wing being so much more important to them that they forget they rely on the other wing in order to move....

I hope you informed your kid the nation isn't actually an avian creature. I'm just joshin' ya.

He missed the point of the whole lesson. The point is that my wing is the correct one... right? ... hello?

Good analogy. One wing wants to pull the country in one direction and the other wing wants to pull to the other direction. It is the result of the two pulls that determine where the nation stands.

The left wing thinks the media/politicians/etc. have a too-right wing bent and the right wing thinks the media/politicians/etc. have a too-left wing bent. So, the country is right where the people in total place it.

Pretty sure that I have seen that floating around facebook these days. Although, when one wing has Alien Hand Syndrome it makes it hard to fly.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

We're better off getting rid of the wings altogether and simply walking where we need to go.

Alien hand Syndrome?

Alien hand Syndrome?

Google is a wonderful tool. But it basically is a condition in which one person has little to no control of one of their hands/arm

I see your point. I think it applies to both wings these days.

Makes sense. Accomplishes nothing but stands tall and proud!

That sums us up pretty well.
I only hope that we influence the Big Two in the direction of liberty.

Could be worse. You could be like the Trumpster. The mosquito on the *** of the leach on the underbelly of the turkey.

I don't think I could ever be like The Donald.
Tis not that I'm better.....I'm just not up to the task.

I don't know you all that well but I'm reasonably confident saying you are better.

I suspect that you're just coming on to me.
I'm flattered!

Nah, if I was coming on to you I would comment on your perspicuous solicitude!

Besides, I basically labeled you as better than a mosquito on a slugs butt. Not a glowing recommendation by any measure.

I takes me compliments where I finds'm, no matter how small.
