Take my posts as you find them, snb. And thank you for the heads-up about your own posts. I didn't previously see that 90% of the time you are trying to be funny.
What's not so funny is this from Chris Hedges:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnx-MiRtngABy all means watch to the end. I'm not joking. And neither is he.
And since you set yourself up as someone who has "really studied the issue and understand American history and culture," then you can tell me why a narrative about Burke, Kirk, Goldwater, Buckley and, oh, Rawls's theories of justice, say, --a narrative of Right v. Left-- is so pressingly important, in the context that Chris Hedges lays out.
You say your Purity score is 0.0; yet you seem to insist upon purity in ideas. Something to consider.
For my money (literally), arguing about Left v. Right today is about as myopic as arguing about Keynes v. Hayek while your house is being foreclosed upon.
