82. we need all voices
I for one appreciate the contributions from TGR.

The only contributions I don't appreciate are those assailing and belittling the contributions of others.

Why don't the centrists argue their philosophy? Instead we get attacks on everyone else, and the old tired "don't get me wrong I agree with you BUT..." arguments. That always struck me as odd - arguing for a point of view that one claims to not agree with, but rather takes as a matter of being superior to others.

I suspect that the people constantly attacking the Left actually do believe in a conservative philosophy, but are unwilling to argue that straightforwardly. Instead, leftists are ridiculed and attacked.
