I loathe when American conservatives define themselves as “right wing” anything, even in jest — just as I loathe when the liberal press uses it as identification for American conservatives — because it is an inaccurate use of the term.

The terms Right and Left were coined during the French Revolution, referring to seating arrangements in parliament; those who sat on the right supported preserving the institutions of the Ancien Régime (the monarchy, the aristocracy and the established church). Use of the term “Right” became more prominent after the second restoration of the French monarchy in 1815 with the Ultra-royalists.

- Kristine Lowe, “Terror in Oslo” – from the article: VG, Norway’s largest newspaper and also my main employer, was right across the street from the governement headquarters where the bomb went off, and large sections VG’s glass walls facing the explosion fell out…
- Questions for Lisa Kudrow (Slate) – from the article: It was only, like, the second season of The Amazing Race, and people were vomiting and crying on national television. And I just thought, “That’s the end of the world.” You don’t even care that someone is watching you vomiting and crying while your husband is yelling at you to eat the horribly spicy ipecac.
I think the correct thing was done under the existing law
It’s amazing that you can point the finger at those that are asked to give all if required and sacrifice everything that is important to them while they do it. Some people have the mentality of “Break glass only in the case of war” towards our military and especially towards Marines.
