Origin of Left & Right...

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:

"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the
fool to the left." Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV)

Thus sayeth the Lord. Amen.

Can't get any simpler than that.

And now for a Spelling Lesson...

The last four letters in American..........I Can
The last four letters in Republican.......I Can
The last four letters in Democrats........Rats

End of lesson� test to follow November 6, 2012.

Remember, November is to be set aside as rodent removal month.

Too true and too funny.


Is it too ambitious or too naive to look for an honest politician? Or simply a useful one?

Look around there and locate the scripture about seperating the sheep from the goats. One goes one way, one the other.

You do know that the term comes from the French National assembly circa 1789.


A government is the most dangerous threat to man�s rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims.

But she's 100% correct that the Bible DOES say that although I can't say that left and right meant the same thing then as now..

We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

"The terms "left" and "right" appeared during the French Revolution of 1789 when members of the National Assembly divided into supporters of the king to the president's right and supporters of the revolution to his left. One deputy, the Baron de Gauville explained, "We began to recognize each other: those who were loyal to religion and the king took up positions to the right of the chair" wikipedia

Interesting that they put those loyal to religion on the right. Regardless if the person is actually religious as in having faith in religion, the values of the right are the essentially the values of the Bible which are also the values of our Constitution. Tried, true and timeless.

And, this from Moses:

32 Ye shall aobserve to do therefore as the Lord your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

Here's another.
It says Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father.
And that we are co-inheritors with Him.

If paying attention while reading/studying the bible you can't help but notice every single liberal leftist agenda is discussed.

We are warned to NOT be deceived. Filled with falsehoods. There is no truth in them.

Which brings us to the great deceiver. The father of all lies. That fallen one which was created the greatest of all angelic beings and in charge of much.

Now, I can't prove this by the scriptures... but we know every commander keeps his next highest authorities close at hand. so it stands to reason that since Jesus is at His right hand, Lucifer was at His left.

Look what happened to the followers of he on the left. Cast down. Kicked out. Ex-communicated for all times. There remains a vacancy..... kinda like in the Oval Office.... and in the heads of all who follow the ZERo.
