Your tiny –and false– left/right paradigm, is the DIRECT result of your inability to reason.
Without the desire to seek answers and information beyond what you are spoon-fed by FOX and CNN, you will never rise above the noise and confusion, and be able see the world as anything more than a simple bit of BLUE and RED.
