You guys on the left however, are just too naive and too blind in your worldview to realize how partisan and intolerant you actually are. No one is more partisan and such flat out looney tunes activists as those on the left. You're the ones pretending to uphold tolerance and scream about social justice while being the worse of Totalitarians.
I am certainly left of you as most people must be, but I could hardly be classified as part of 'the left'. Although my voter registration doesn't affiliate me with any party, I consider myself libertarian and will lean any number of way depending on the topic. For instance, I embrace capitalism; however, have no problem with regulating industries (think Canadian banking system) and think that deregulation of utilities is stupid. I embrace a meritocracy and the inherent inequality that results from competition, but only on a level playing field and after everyone's basic needs are satisfied.
My problem with this entire thread is the underlying idea that there is any significant difference between Republicans and Democrats in the manner by which they retain power and continue to do nothing to improve our collective circumstance.
