I have often wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the "RIGHT" and Liberals are called the "LEFT".
By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible:
Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV)-"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left."
Thus sayeth the Lord. Amen.
It surely can't get any simpler than that, as that even a 'fool' can grasp the meaning.

No, a thoughtful person would realize it's tongue-in-cheek. Moreover, @Alyosha can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that is the literal translation.Originally Posted by midcan5
Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.
