Oops, sorry, that was eleven. I guess I'll stop.

Partisan ideologues are constantly whining about all the hate from the other side without ever looking in a mirror.
Partisan ideologues all sound alike because they all use the same talking points, word for word.
Partisan ideologues think people who have open minds are evil.
Partisan ideologues think anyone who isn't as extreme as they, are "the enemy".
Partisan ideologues think they are the only ones that are patriots.

It's hilarious, the lefties on this board call me a right wingnut

the righties call me a bleedingheart liberal

Yet they are both blinded by their own arrogance and fear.

10 Reasons Why Partisan Ideology is Bullshit

…and why pragmatism is so intensely despised.

Clearly to be human is to be partisan, to adhere blindly to subjective dogma, to attack the heretic, the political iconoclast, and to predicate one’s political beliefs on emotion, not truth.

Indeed, the OP’s observations are accurate and correct, and will be ignored for the reasons noted above.

Well, I guess first you'd have to tell me for which "side" I'm a partisan ideologue.

[LoneLaugher]

Mac is absolutely correct.

If his ability to identify an ideologue was more refined........he'd really have something there.

Yes! 2A is a perfect example of a centrist!

What do you think Mac? Is 2A in that boat with you?

Since you see TDM doing it.. you KNOW it is flat out WRONG

Weird thing is, it appears that many of them are so engulfed in it that they don't even realize it. The subconscious is a powerful thing: Say something over and over and over, expose yourself to data that reinforces it, and at some point you really believe it.

Partisans were against Nazis, which makes you a fool.

The biggest problem with partisans, besides being blind to reality, is they are so easily duped by their leaders. This leads to division, allowing the political class to take more power and wealth.

I suspect Americans are more divided today then any time since the Civil War...all thanks to partisans.

In addition....the absurdity and stupidity of it all, is there is little difference between the R and D parties.
