>>I think we should wish to rid ourselves of that kind of parochial approach to discussions.<< Curious as to why? Does it mean conceding the center? One of the things that puzzles conservatives is the blinders that liberals wear towards their liberalism. Liberal isn't a dirty word, it's a very respectable word with a long history of good ideas, good people, and good deeds. It's plain as day that modern liberalism and 19th century liberalism are different things, but I am perfectly willing to concede that many present day liberal institutions are well intended, for example, the ACLU. I admit that I have blinders on. I see things from my point of view. It's kind of like being in a room where everybody is wearing different colored spectacles. If I wear blue spectacles, the world will look different than if I were wearing red spectacles. Increasingly, my perception of discussing things with you is that when I say, I see the world this way because my spectacles are blue, you are not willing to say, I see the world this way because my spectacles are red. Instead, you seem to argue that your spectacles are clear.
