I said it was relative. And of course there are other standards in the world- there are still communist countries. The only standard that matters to me is the one that fits this country, now. And we have a hard left and right- it's different from Canada's, or Chile's, or Egypt's- because we are Amercans. How they define the political spectrum in Italy (for example) doesn't seem to matter much. Can you explain why I have had to argue this? Because it seems weirdly out of touch, to me, that people would be unable to agree we have a spectrum in this country on the right AND left. Is this what we've come to? Denying reality by debasing definitions?
