roachboy, you really don't want me, or anyone else, to start commenting on individual people's argument styles, do you? What would be the point?
I know there are complications and new wrinkles in political theory, but fundamentally the idea that political views can be boiled down to differences in preferences as between clusters of competing values isn't anything new. There are lots of nuances but the old grid that has at four corners authoritarian v laissez faire opposite each other and liberty v equality at the other is a pretty good summary.
The point is that none of these is necessarily WRONG. Each one of these aspects has its place. The issue is each person's default choice, and each will be correct in certain times and places and applications.
