I think what you wrote is a little abstract. The conversation between liberal and conservative is really a conversation between left and right brain thinking. Though some can equally use both hemispheres or learn to, for the most part we all tend to remain biased largely due to various forms of cognitive dissonance.
The paradox in its application to politics, is that both sides and the argument itself defines the center. The more heated the debate and argument, the more the center is clearly defined (though neither side might agree there is a center).
You also mentioned in response to me that both sides could be 100% right. This is exactly true. It's more a question of being willing to accept the other as being right, which is the hurdle since an individual tends to be quite defensive about his/her beliefs, which when changed, have much wider psychological implications since that single viewpoint is usually tied to and an integral part of a much larger world view and body of beliefs.
Is this an old woman? Young girl? Conservative/Liberals argue it can and is only one or the other.
You might pause and reflect on your incessant far left ranting. Maybe you're not 100% right all the time??
