As a matter of simple linguistics, anything promoted from either end of the political spectrum can neither be balanced nor fair in its treatment of complex issues. This applies whether the issue under consideration is political, religious, or for that matter anything upon which an extreme position can be articulated. Right wing screwheads are as blind or consciously in denial of the value of left wing policies and ideology as any left wing screwhead is of the value of right wing policy and idealogy.
Only from the center can one clearly evaluate the value of any proposal if what one is interested in is a balanced view of the options. That has nothing to do of course with whether the ideas or principles of the extreme right or left WORK or not. I address the notion to those who wish to arrive at wisdom through the consideration of options. To those interested only in parrotting or supporting one side or the other of an issue, I, of course, am merely one hand clapping.
