Understandably but nevertheless inaccurately, politics in America is divided into Left and Right. Regular readers of Postmodern Papist know I'm all over the political radar, and on some issues, swinging perpetually like a pendulum. I find that in taking the various Internet tests which match you or compare you with presidential candidates, even those with whom I am most in agreement I share only half of their positions.
The Left and Right political spectrum that shapes much of our political thought and analysis represents varying positions and priorities on issues, differences in political, social, and economic philosophy, and differences in morality. The Left/Right categorization also tends to differentiate approaches to and understandings of the roles and purposes of government.
Do you find that you fit nicely into the Left/Center/Right framework?
What do you think is the role or purpose of government?
What do you think is the most pressing moral issue today, and do you think there is a political solution to the problem?
