:-) good
Sometimes, when we want to sound reasonable, we do that- I've done it, but then when I think about it, I realize it's pretty unreasonable of the other side to expect us to lie about the "far left", just so they can think we're "reasonable" and they can feel comfortable. How can you have a conversation with people who really are delusional? You'd like to have a dialog, but you don't want to have to get on the bus to crazy town to have one. Just look at the the Right is asking for- and what the country wants. Which is not to say that we don't need to cut some of our weird government spending. But the right wing focus on the "takers" (when so many of said takers are actually supporters of the right wing, who don't seem to realize they are the takers) is just odd.

"I'm just growing more weary with all the false equivalence stuff. Sometimes I simply blurt out."

Steve's just echoing the false equivalences presented by our MSM "news" organizations, who present infotainment rather than information. Not just Fox "News", but ALL of them.
