Origin of Left and Right
« on: July 27, 2012, 06:37:27 PM »
 I have often wondered why it is that Liberals are called the
        "right" and Labor are called the "left."

        I then found this verse in the Bible:

"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left." Ecclesiastes 10:2
Also, Matthew 25:33 . . . He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Thus sayeth the Lord. Amen.


Can't get any simpler than that.
