"That which is different from me is evil" never rings more true than in political discussions. That, and I doubt the accuracy of that chart. There are extremely, openly liberal congressmen, who only occasionally vote across the line because they want to win re-election.Vuliev said:

It's also sad they're pretty much in the same area with only slight variation, which makes all the arguing seem so much more pointless.
Really drives home the whole "in America, there's the right, and then the extreme right" point.
Beware the flame war! I'm in the same boat, minus a few decimal points. We had best raise the walls and brace for the storm.holacoaster said:I think this makes me one of the farthest right people here...

This is a map of senators, not congressmen. And a handful of outliers in a body of 435 representatives isn't going to do anything besides throw leaves at a wall.Nieroshai said:That, and I doubt the accuracy of that chart.

So the fact that the political center of American politics is in the blue quadrant isn't a bad thing? There needs to be discussion, yes, but it needs to be in the actual center, not far to the right of it.Nieroshai said:"That which is different from me is evil" never rings more true than in political discussions.

Also shouldn't this topic be in the Religion and Politics section?
EDIT: Am I the only one on the right...?
