The Emergency Committee for Israel is running an advertisement urging an immediate war
with Iran. This organization was founded by Weekly Standard creator, and Romney strategist, William Kristol.
Its message is that the evil, Jewish-hating Persian theocracy must be obliterated
to make way for Israeli expansion.
Sound preposterous? Well, the ploy, here, is to make Romney look like a Delta Team 6 super-commando. This supposedly will take Jewish voters away from Obama in the November election. The other purpose is to sanctify the execution of a million Iranians when Romney orders the bombing come next January.

The Conservative Right isn't interested in Biblical Prophecy? That's just not true. Now those in POWER do not care, but they use these things to appeal to their base who DOES care.
And not everyone on the left is "irreligious secular." Personally I know more believing Liberals than atheist ones.
You are buying into this Left vs. Right divisive tactic.
And to label this "antisemitic slander"? Really? That's so dishonest. Nothing but a cheap trick to silence opposition and criticism of Israel.
to make way for Israeli expansion.

Of course Obama could be helpful with that also because of my above stated reason: His ability to make the Left go against their core values.

The left is not at all interested in religion in the same sense that the right is. Religion may be exploited by them at times, but their own personal feelings of religion is not traditional, which means, they are not sensitive at all to ideas like 'biblical prophecy'. Their spiritual feelings are secular, relativistic, embracing mostly eastern ideas mixed with socialist doctrine.

So....then, there is no difference in your mind between a secular humanistic socialist viewpoint, against a traditional, religious, democratic viewpoint???

who generalize away all differences between left and right as being nothing more than a mechanism used by 'elites' to control the masses, ignoring the real fundamental differences in outlook that creates those categories to begin with.

So theres nothing libelous in saying "to make way for Israeli expansion." ??? What basis is there for saying that?? Aside from antisemitic feelings, beclouded by anti-zionist rhetoric, could cause someone to mindlessly and carelessly make that accusation on such vacuous grounds.

Left is generally synonymous with liberal, socialist, humanistic, etc, while right is synonymous with conservative, democratic and traditional; wherever your own beliefs fall, you yourself fall into one of these categories.

Lastly, as you said, the left is seen as the more humane; wouldn't this itself be a reasoning for the left launching a war, as opposed to the right? Wouldn't Obama receive more support than Romney, since Obama is already more liked and respected then the right?

In my opinion, if you're a political scientist, it would make a hell of a lot more sense, domestically, for Obama to do something so unpopular in American eyes then for the right to do it; there might still be opposition and
protestation, but not as much as there would be if Romney were to do it.
The right is synonymous with democracy and the left isn't? I have no idea where you get that.
Originally posted by dontreally
Unless you conflate socialism with democracy, the right tends to support democratic ideals more than the left.
It should go without saying that my codification of right-left is a generalization.
That's just not true. The "issues" and people's opinions on them can be very real. TPTB exploit those differences and keep people at each other's throats over these issues so they can continue to manipulate the world and enforce their own agenda. And when the Illuminati seizes control, we'll all be caught off-guard because we were bickering over gay marriage, welfare, or immigration.
Anti-zionism is not anti-semitism.
Systematically, though, the Right is "Conservativism" and Conservative/Right-wing values are typically synonymous with fascism. So would you equate Fascism with democracy?
.
America is a "democracy" and democracy comes with "choices." There is absolutely no way that you can say that either side of the coin is against democracy or that one is more "democratic" than the other when they both exist in a democracy.

So to be clear, you don't think there are any legitimate politicans, journalists, media figures or social acitivists, who are genuinely motivated by ideology, and not some conspiratorial agenda?

There's no such thing as true democracy. But the right is best equipped to meet the standards set by the American constitution.
