Broadly speaking, as adherents of social progressivism, the left generally oppose the death penalty, believing that with regards to Law and Order, rehabilitation is more important than punishment. On the right however, although right-libertarians oppose it, right-authoritarians or 'conservatives' (the predominant group) accept it as an effective deterrent and a long-standing value representative of their firmness on law and order.
"Left" refers to liberal, and "right" refers to conservative. Thus, "left of center" is moderately liberal.
Sort of, right wing refers to people with Conservative views and left wing refers to people with Liberal views.
The trick is to watch the feet of the penalty taker. If about to kick and his feet are close together he is going to the left(right foot taker). If far apart he is going to the right. Opposite for a left footed penalty taker. It takes some practice. But it works
The right was slave labor, and the left was the gas chambers.
Whether something is a suitable detterent or not depends on a) what the punishment is and b) how it affects certain people. For the dealth penalty, death is a final punishment for some, but for others such as the unhinged and those with nothing left to lose, its power as a deterrent becomes less imposing.

The DingoBot has made an error, nothing here is repetitive.Generally speaking, individual US States create laws via their legislatures and signed into law various bills. All US laws must be Constitutional, however, all specific powers not granted to the Federal government by the US Constitution are left to the individual States to decide. As an example, the death penalty, provided it complies with the US Constitution, are left to the States to decide. This has resulted in some States abolishing the death penalty and some have the death penalty.
True. If you speak of a right-wing party, you are typically speaking of a group which holds hawkish or militarily aggressive views. Left-wing parties tend to hold more dovish views.
It might seem that way, but the supervisors try to keep the answers neutral, and neutral is 'left' of right-wing answers. Either way, people who continually try to use wikianswers as a soapbox for extreme right or left wing views, will be blocked.
Use the right analog stick and keep on moving it left to right and don't STOP, it will do jumpin jacks and it will automatically save it.
That is a decision left to each state. Currently 35 states allow it, although some haven't used it in a long time.
