"It's clear that anyone that isn't far right extremist like you is a liberal. " Bingo. When a junior senator from Illinois, I think, said that Barry Goldwater would be insufficiently conservative to be in the Republican party in the 1980s, I am sure that i-node gave a standing ovation. I understand what it is like to realize that the cathedral has been taken over by gargoyles. You have my sympathies. But, the only rational thing to do is pick up and move on.
