res- So you are telling me that you think it is perfectly OK to ignore those policy positions that do not fit into your neat polarization scheme? First of all, I don't believe characterizing someone liberal or conservative is a "neat polarization scheme". That's another one of those often used liberal catch-phrases designed to put the other person in a "you're narrow minded, I am open" polarizing view, when they are stuck in a cognitive dissonance struggle. What have I ever said which was truly "polarizing ShilohCat? Some people can fall into either camp by being a moderate. And some can have an inclination one way or another. I never inferred or stated otherwise. Terms such as these are not ugly words to me the way you're inferring. I doubt if William Buckley or Alan Dershwitz would be offended if they were referred to as a liberal or conservative. I believe I've even seen them introduced that way on PBS discussion shows. As I said before (twice now), there will be specific issues in which these archetypes don't fit. However, that doesn't invalidate the point of view. People rarely completely agree about everything. Additionally, the term liberal or conservative has changed over the years. I'm referring to the modern day American version. As I'm assuming you are since this discussion originally sprang from a conversation about Rush Limbaugh.
