I'm amused with the way I'm attacked for stating the obvious. That I'm a common right winger who seeks to personally attack everyone who disagrees with me.
Yeah maybe millions of flies eat shit, however the term "right" and "left" when talking about American politics are relative to who lives in the US. Therefore two parties who represent opposite sides of the US populace can not be both on one side but on opposite sides of the bell curve of politics otherwise one of the two would not survive.
Therefore, in order to survive one must find itself representing the "left" of America. The relative conservative slant of the "left" party (strictly compared to European countries) shows that the left party in America relies on keeping as many people in it's realm appeased. To do that the party must stay as closely as possible to the politics of the majority of the people.
Therefore, if the majority of the people in a bell curve type of situation are so conservative to the point that you consider the liberals as conservative... you are out of the mainstream.
While it may be true you can't see the forest from the trees, you also can not judge relativism from the outside.. it scews as the view changes realtive to the comparison.
