[color=#000000ost_uid0]Left-wing: socialist, liberal, Democrat, etc.

Right-wing: conservative, Republican.

It comes from the seating arrangements of the French revolutionary government (with the royal-killings, etc). Those in favour of advancing the revolution sat on the left of the "speaker" or whomever. Those in favour of slowing down or against revolution sat on the right.

Sorta. That's probably partly off because I only woke up an hour ago.

As for why I found Sa'ar's dream funny is that:

1.) my hair is purple-ish, not pink (I loathe pink),
2.) I'm not in England, nor am I English (Canada),
3.) I'm in no way connected with horses,
4.) I wasn't anti-War.

I'm a moderate, neither far right or left, on the fence as to unilateral war (UN backed would likely have been different), etc...

That's why it was funny. [/colorost_uid0]
