I bet you can tell a good book by it's cover, too! Mighty high horse you have there, Sam. =) >> Many on this list are also extreme righties, blind to facts just the same as >> the extreme lefties, though the facts they are blind to differ. > > There aren't any extreme righties on this list. It's sad that you > think so. It also shows that you must be an extreme lefty to think > run-of-the-mill conservatives are extreme righties. There *are* many right leaning individuals on-list. To claim otherwise is silly. "I'm surrounded by lefties! Ahhhh!

Too bad you didn't use "sweeping accusations" instead of wild ones, or I could have poked fun here. "all others" indeed. Nice (if a bit blatant) spin! Come on man, we're all relatively centrist, for all our leanings, or civil discussion would be neigh impossible, and topics here would revolve around technology or some-such. Polite dinner conversation, versus nitty gritty realness. "Extreme" is relative, I guess is what I'm on about. Labels are simplistic in nature. A new one isn't going to solve the problem you have with them. Tho centramentalists does sound pretty catchy.
