Protestors mindlessly shouting

[RawAlex]

CDSmith, your sarcasm detector isn't working.

One of the things I have noticed especially here on Oprano is the use of the "the you must be" arguement.

if you are against legislation banning abortion, "then you must be a baby killer".

if you don't support bush, "then you must be a commie"

if you don't support the war in Iraq, "the you must be saddam bum buddy"

I am seeing more and more extremism, and people trying to push that extremism onto others. Some people have a VERY extreme point about bush, the war, whatever - but because I don't ENTIRELY agree with you doesn't make me a polar opposite. Wake up and realize that between the two points, there is a TON of great...

I don't like Bush (I don't like the way the election worked out...), I am not a big fan of the war, although I think it had to be done. For me it is a matter of timing, this didn't have to happen NOW, it could have happened next month.... nobody has really brought any proof to the table to support the date (and when I say nobody, I am taking about the US and British Administrations, those people sponsoring this bomb-fest).

None of this makes me a commie or saddam's bum buddy or anything else. I am just living in the grey area of reality.
