Left and Right Against the Empire

"Despite sharp disagreement on health care and the 'stimulus', we agreed on much. Everyone I spoke to was against the wars (although they 'supported the troops') and against the corporate bailouts, and for civil liberties.

In a society run by corporate elites who trample the values of both progressives and traditional conservatives, couldn’t we align Left and Right against the national security state and bankster capitalism?"
