I see a mass defection from the Republican party so that clears the notion that people right of center are hard headed kool aid drinkers. I think the people drinking the Kool Aid are the ones that refuse to argue a point that differs from their respective party and cohorts lexicon.

Do you know what a political compass is? Would you believe that a true political compass puts ME left of center.
I think everyone likes to pigeon-hole people because life is easier to deal w/ when we can "explain" how or why they think and act. My view is that most of our individual political philosophy is based on our desire for individual freedoms versus our desire for government control--and I created this graphic as a way of viewing this dichotomy. It isn't perfect, but I believe it shows our feelings about liberal v. conservative. It also seems to surprise a lot of liberals, who have this tendency to pigeon-hole all conservatives as fascists.
