Yes, and their "Aha!" moment. Seriously?

That is what we must avoid. If you know you're headed the wrong way, doesn't it make sense to look for the right way?

Well pretty clear what it is...

Washington Post gives it 1 and 1/2 stars as a Right Wing rant.

Of the first 100 WP Readers 67 rate it 4 stars, 8 Rate it 3 stars and 25 rate it 1 star.

This of course suggests very strongly, as do the actual comments, that it is a right wing rant.

The lack of middle rankings make that quite clear. The right loves it and the left hates it and no one else cares.

Yeah, I think you summed it up. Quote: ''The right loves it and the left hates it''

Just as there is Good and Evil.

You left out the "no one else cares" who actually gets to decide the issue.

Washington Post? And we should think the numbers are unbiased? The paper endorsed Obama in 2008.

The Washington Post has been called the "Pravda on the Potomac" due to its perceived left-wing bias in both reporting and editorials.
In 1963, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover reportedly told President Lyndon B. Johnson, "I don't have much influence with The Post because I frankly don't read it. I view it like the Daily Worker."

Perhaps I shouldn't do this, but when people start throwing words like good and evil in a political discussion I tend to label them extremists.

That's OK. The world "extremists" gets thrown around as much as "racists". Neither has much meaning anymore, except for the person using it.

There IS good and there IS evil in politics. Take a look back at history.
