Well there's the old school PoliSci 101 circle with Reactionary/Radical at the top and centrist on the bottom, but there's also some other crap out there like the Nolan chart and the euro charts (which I prefer). Left-wingers typically focus on cultural freedom, but economic aggregation. Far left wingers can become radical. Right wingers typically focus on economic freedom, but strict cultural codes. Far right wingers can become reactionary. These recent terrorists are right-wing since: * in the case of the murder of the doctor, the terrorist is attempting to use violence to enforce a strict moral code as they perceive it. * in the case of today's attack it was motivated by racism which is a perceived threat to historic cultural ghettos. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
