1) you're very liberal
2) "logic" is a highly subjective thing. i can argue any point with "logic" and declare myself right as you do.
but i'm just not that arrogant. i fully understand that each issue has more than one side, more than one argument and that both might be wrong, one might be right or wrong or that both can be right. further, i realize that i'm biased towards a certain viewpoint just as you are biased, and i use "logic" to deduce that my political views are not perfectly balanced due to how i perceive and interpret the world and events around me.
a christian uses "logic" to prove the existence of god... an atheist uses "logic" to disprove the existence of god.
at the end of the day, both views are based on faith, not provable fact. it requires substantial arrogance and an ironic absence of logic to declare such faith based, narrow minded views as fact. "logic" would demand that one would not reach a conclusion.
you cast everyone who thinks differently than you as being an idealogue.. but yourself as just being a fair minded, balanced person who uses deductive reasoning and logic to reach conclusions. the simple fact of the matter is that there are two distinct world views in US politics and two sides of the fence. a "logical person", carefully giving equal weight to both views and arguments, would be in the center, the great majority of the time.. not consistently on one side. thats just simple, 4th grade math.
