The thing about fanatical devotion to a single side of the ideological spectrum, is that you can find the worst examples of the other side and use it as the face to cover every single person who comes from that perspective. Reading posts from our most prominant members of the political board, it's saddening that our most outspoken members (from both left and right) spend all their time attacking the other wing, and none going after their own. Not to mention, you can NEVER expect someone to support the decisions of those they normally oppose, even if it really is a good idea (George Bush, Jack Layton, Fidel Castro, whoever).

Does nobody live with independant thought and just call bullshit where they see it? Because spending all your time supporting your side and attacking their side, is not using your brain, it's just allowing it to focus in on one way of thinking until it shuts out everything else; then your brain can start believing that anything else must be insanity. Most people are so caught up in their devotion to the side they've picked that they're blinded to the great and relatively equal amount of stupidity, and even possitive qualities, that exists in the right wing, left wing, and every type of person in between.

WAKE UP, and start thinking for yourself; and that doesn't mean finding the right person to tell you how to think for your self.
