"In every political community there are varying shades of political opinion. One of the shadiest of these is the liberals. An outspoken group on many subjects. Ten degrees to the left of center in good times. Ten degrees to the right of center if it affects them personally." - Phil Ochs

Is this implying being right of center is bad? You know what that would mean, right?

Neoliberalism =/= liberalism and especially not leftism (or just "the opposite of conservatism"), which I assume is what Colbert means
