2. everyone who disagrees with you politically is the same, united in their disagreement with you. everyone who disagrees with you is an extremist.
so that
3.you are the center of the political universe. your positions are the absolute. everything about american politics is arrayed around you as its center.
i didnt know you were that important pan.
see what distortions a messageboard format can introduce?
mea culpa.
i think you could help me spare myself alot of work: why should anyone bother to think for themselves when they can just check in with you?
and if you do think for yourself and find yourself drifting unacceptably, you will inform them of this drift by throwing them out of the Big Musical.
dont get me wrong on this: i appreciate that you take time out from your important centering functions to throw me out of the Big Musical.
i take it as an example of your largesse, and i am suitably grateful.
but in order to reduce the time i may be spending flailing about in the Land of the Unacceptable and Bitter, why dont you let me know which positions of yours should i adopt in order to bring myself to happiness and well-being?
it'd help me become a better person, i am sure.

Got to love ya RB.... you are almost a master of spin, Rove and the Clintons have nothing on you.
I'm not saying any of that. I am simply pointing out that people like you, Limbaugh and so on.... are so extreme in your political views you leave no room for anyone else's views.
If you are so far left that everyone else (say 90+%) is right of you.... you maybe the one that needs to move.... stop bitching how this person wasn't left enough for you.
If you are so far right that everyone else (again 90+%) is to the left of you.... stop bitching about how this person needs to move further right because he's not right enough for you.
If in politics you cannot balance to some degree and find middle ground to compromise.... you are obsolete, have no business in politics and are serving noone but yourself and your own self interests, no matter what color you want to paint it or how much perfume you put on it..... it's still one color and it still stinks and does nothing to better society.
