So much wisdom in so few words. This is the best email I’ve received in several weeks. Read the enlightening words of wisdom in this little message today.
“I have often wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the "right" and Liberals are called the "left." But then I read this verse in Ecclesiastes 10:2 in the Bible:Could it be that the Holy Bible written almost 2000 years ago was able to explain today’s greatest political dilemma? In addition to the opinions of some Psychiatrists that Liberals all suffer from a mental disease, now we have the Holy Scripture adding a more authoritative source.
"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.”
This was too good to pass up so I looked it up on Google and found these on a web site called Biblos. http://bible.cc/ecclesiastes/10-2.htm
Then I discovered some people had already discovered this truth and produced some great looking t-shirts to carry the message. This is a free plug for RightWingStuff.comNew International Version (©1984)

What a crock of shit. Left and Right didn't exist as political labels two thousand years ago. Left-handedness was simply seen as a demonic condition. Cite at least five CREDIBLE studies from well-regarded researchers that liberalism is a mental illness. You'll find none.
