Honestly, the Far Left can be just as fundamentally flawed and biased to the point of contradicting their own premise.
Some examples I've posted in one msg or another, ad infinitum (or ad nauseum):
1. Being prochoice and against prolife legislation as govt intrusion, but then supporting
the health care mandates that violate free choice (especially imposing requirements the govt has not even met or else threatening penalties if these aren't met).
2. Being anti-war and demanding diplomatic solutions instead of demonizing terrorists; yet namecalling, demonizing and waging war on Republican/conservative adversaries for the same reasons -- lack of faith that peace can be made with opposing groups and ideologies.
3. Insisting that ALL gays are naturally born that way and NONE can change (thus fighting an endless deadlock with people who claim that NO gays are natural and ALL are sinful).
Instead of acknowledging that in SOME cases of homosexuality, people are naturally inclined or born with this orientation and may not change, but some people are unnaturally influenced or reacting due to past abuse which could be healed to change their orientation.
4. Bashing Bush in order to organize politically to get other candidates in government, to such an extreme that it overrode the REAL issues behind the objections and was thus attacked as purely politically motivated (with namecalling like Unamerican or Communist);
then calling Tea Party and anti-Obama activists names like Racist and Nazis for lobbying against Obama to such an extreme it also overrides the VALID objections to his policies too!
5. Then the argument about abortion rights vs. gun rights; where conservatives who don't want govt interfering "at all" with gun rights will go to extreme measures to block proposed legislation they claim is not going to prevent the problem because criminals are going to get guns anyway (and liberals object and blame them for not taking responsibility); and when liberals who don't want govt interfering "at all" with abortion rights go to extreme measures to block any protective legislation, claiming people are going to get abortions anyway, then conservatives object and blame them for the same, etc.
I could go on, but these are the main ones I see the most, in one form or another.
The point is, there is a common failure of people on either the Right or Left to see when they "wax fundamentalist" on certain issues, that have an equivalent on the other side they find EQUALLY blindsided and annoying, when the shoe is on the other foot.
When they realize this is mutual, maybe there is a chance they will stop pushing those buttons and criticizing others, when they do the "EXACT SAME THING" when it comes to their sacred issues they react the same way to!
The refusal to deal with reality and facts clearly defines the Far Right.
The only thing "creating a violently insane political atmosphere" is the left's refusal to deal with reality and facts.
Barack Obama himself has tons of material in his past that clearly indicates he was born in Kenya. Yet, we're all supposed to ignore that and just believe whatever the left tells us.
Every nation in world history that had government controlled healthcare had some form of "Death Panels". When you have an entire nation to care for, and limited resources (ie money, physicians, facilities, etc.), you must make choices about who gets what care. Choices are the nice way of saying "rationing". And rationing is just the nice way of saying "death panels". Yet once again, we are expected to ignore facts, history, and common sense in favor for what ever the left tells us regarding their vision of utopia.
Finally, as far as Communism, well once again - that comes straight from Obama's own mouth and his history:
His mentor (by his own acknowledgement) was Frank Marshall Davis. Frank Marshall Davis was a card carrying member of the Communist Party USA (card carrying CP #47544).
I actually believe in redistribution - Senator Barack Obama, 1998
I think when you spread the wealth around, its good for everybody" - Candidate Barack Obama, 2008
I mean, I do think at a certain point youve made enough money. - President Barack Obama, 2010
This is but the smallest portion of Barack's history - all of which is 100% fact and all of which can be independently verified by anyone who cares to know the truth. The problem we have in America is that the left prefers utopia over facts/reality.
Your arguments have a lot of holes and false equivalencies emilynghiem. You are pandering.
