I think a large amount of what the left says of the right is just trash talk. But then the right is by NO means any better. I mean 10 minutes of either Sean Hannity or Bill O'Reilly is enough to prove this rather quickly. I'm by no means a fan of anything neoconservative. I am also not a fan of the conspiracy mongering and unwarranted accusatory statements made by some of the further of the left. The closure you move away from the middle the more insane things become. There is a reason all descriptive words used to describe the less reasonable members of a political view all are indicators of gradation from the center towards the edges. Fringe, Periphery, Far-Right/Far-Left... Typically these carry a bit of negative connotation. There IS reason for this. Stop thinking with your hostile emotions and take a look at it objectively. Balance serves everyone much better than any far leaning regulation. Even when you seem to come across without the accusatory notions and personal attacks. The posts tend to reek of it, even if just an undercurrent. You ask why castle? The same reason you're post comes across as it does rather than being a simple polite response. Mind you it isn't rude, but it is mildly inflammatory, which will in turn garner a similar response. And just like politics in general, will get us no where. It's just the manner in which people typically debate serves to bring more anger than objectivity. It's a fine and strange line where that sits. What can be said that isn't inflammatory, a passion for political discussion is a passion nonetheless and is emotional by virtue. It's truly hard to separate your belief and opinion that is based on deeply ingrained personal values for objectivity. I just want facts. Everyone wants to toss a couple facts in with their mishmash of opinion that muddles the whole picture. Opinion is ok, but it can't be asserted/implied to be factual by it's inclusion within a group of facts.

[QUOTE="r0beph, post: 6290, member: 355"] I think a large amount of what the left says of the right is just trash talk. But then the right is by NO means any better. I mean 10 minutes of either Sean Hannity or Bill O'Reilly is enough to prove this rather quickly. I'm by no means a fan of anything neoconservative.
