I suspect we've all seen the moment when someone, ideologically and with great rigidity, insists on the rightness of the middle of the road. And everyone not in it is politically nuts. To paraphrase, a part of the looney left or right. Clever. But not very useful. It's hard to imagine that happening, for me at least. I don't deny it's possible, I just can't imagine how. I think it's pretty easy to identify the loony crowd, whatever you choose to call them. They take positions that defy reason. Their rationalizations are reiterations of their pre-conceived beliefs. Either that or they don't engage at all, simply believe. That's not a function of location on the spectrum so much as having fallen off the plane of reality.
