>>I was referring to insults heaved by the right toward the left on SI's forums

The insulting goes both ways...
In addition the left wing extremists I've come in contact with here on SI seem to have an annoying penchant to accuse ANYONE who doesn't agree with them 100% as being a "Bushie".
I'm not suggesting there aren't a fair share of right wing extremists also who practice strange behavior as well.

”--one detects a pattern. Juxtrapositioned against such a pattern of corrupton and immorality it is therefore not surprising to see someone come up with something that may not be completely true.”

And there in lies your cage, the one you have imposed upon yourself. You justify and support falsehood in order to identify with an opposing group. In so doing you become the other side of the very coin you claim to abhor. You own it.

Any compromise to the cause of truth and honor is to sacrifice the rational human essence of goodness and common decency. Give up then if you so choose, but don’t expect me to ever support your selling out.

I get it. You expect to be disrespected so you cast the preemptive strike of dissembling hostility. You expect corruption so your chess strategy tells you to deceive before you would be the victim of another’s deception. You feel threatened, so you attempt to discourage those who would succeed, and you feel empowered by all that.

And when all is said and done, who is it you will recommend as the role model for a positive and desirable future state of human being? If you are not part of it, it is not a part of your existence.

Free yourself, be the change, no one else is going to do it for you or with you until you personally step up …

Or not.

Jefferson: ”"I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man"?

I understand that there are those who would try to tyrannize us by attempting to impose an order of falsehood on our thought and expression through code, dogma, doctrine, and physical force. I don't get why y'all do it to yourselves.
