Our politics inevitably become a Left vs Right tug of war. I see a lot of people on here who 

unbudgingly cleave to one side or the other, and debate deteriorates into insults.

So here's my take:

The sins of the left are generally those of arrogance.

The sins of the right are those of greed and hate (which arises from fear).

On your mark, get set, go!

The title is a little off.

IT should read  "Left vs Common sense'.

I think arrogance is misplaced. It's more of a matter of long suffering exasperated certainty. There's nothing wrong with knowing you're right.

I said now watch what you say they'll be calling you a radical,
a liberal, oh fanatical criminal

Even when your wrong? That's not right.

Greed and hate....sounds like a liberal virtue, not a conservative value....judging about how many communities that have been open over Liberal greed, like giving government contracts to friends and family, or claiming to be of an ethnic background to claim business advantages(randy or the other randy) lets not even mention the environmental minster giving millions to his own company....the list is way to long to post here...but all of it does not put the liberal government in a good light...

We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have now done so much for so long with so little, we are now capable of doing anything with nothing.

These are traits that all political stripes share, exploit etc.

Try harder.
