The guy Ed Schultz pulled to plug on when he was rude called us ideologes - Is there a way that

[jwirr]

is true? We are so diverse that I cannot see how that fits at all. On the other hand the Rs enforce what their members can believe - to me that is what they mean. I vote from what I have found to be true in my life time not on some system of belief.

1. I think it has to do with motes

and beams and other such vision impairments. Not to suggest our vision is in any way impaired.

2. I have long suspected that some of us are IINOs...

Ideologues in name only.


But on a serious note: The conservatives have the opinion that they are the "normal", the "center".
You may call for changes to "centrist" views, but if you insist upon them, you are a fanatic, an ideologue, global warming is your religion, you are intolerant...

"Can't we all just get along and agree to keep the status quo? Why are you being so aggressive? Why can't we agree that nobody knows whether global warming exists or not? Why can't we agree that I'm the real victim here? Why can't we find some middleground and compromise on doing nothing?"

3. Framing. They are the poor little innocent party. Got it. Glad Ed pulled the plug. Now I hope the

others call them out when they are wrong. We cannot let them take over our shows by yelling and screaming. We have built these shows up by documenting what we believe and they cannot expect to be allowed to state their beliefs without documentation.
