it's interesting to see you refer to the right as "fascist". And the left as just those guys who are suspicious of you.

That's not what I said. I didn't say that the left are suspicious of me, I said they won't have me because I am suspicious of the sacred "isms". I made the point about "not fitting in" because I am categorized here as "left" (which a lot of people would find amusing).

I did not refer to "the right", collectively, as fascists. I referred to the "born-again fascists", who are a small fraction of the right, just as the left totalitarian wannabes are a small fraction of the left.

As I've said many times, I see the threat as not something that comes from the right or the left, but from polarization. The moderates on both sides have more in common with each other than with the extremist loonies tot he far left and right, and I think it's long past time to resume the search for a political center.
