Ever wonder why conservatives are called “right” leaning and liberals are called “left” leaning? By chance (divine intervention) I stumbled onto these verses in the Bible that answers the age-old question: Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV) -  “The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.” Matthew 25:33 (NIV) - "He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left."
