okay, figured it out. You and I have entirely different ideas of "right" and "left" wing and what those words mean. Always a problem when using gradient analogies for politics...
Out of curiousity, do you consider yourself liberal or conservative?
I'm familiar with all the examples you name above, and would never in my wildest dreams describe any of them as liberal (or, for that matter, Crumb as conservative). The way I think about the issues and the underlying causes applies in entirely different ways. I'm guessing that I'm more concerned about economics and you seem to be civil-rights oriented.
