What I am trying to establish is a counter to the liberal political arena
where consideration is given only to those views which already carry the
accepted values.
With all due respect...in this country (USA), what I've seen is that it's
not just the liberals who take on this sort of "agree with me or don't
talk" viewpoint. Not only do the conservatives do likewise, but they tend
to be on the whole less "nice" about it - columnists talking about the mail
they receive from readers have noted that people responding from a liberal
point of view are more likely to use semi-polite arguments, while people
arguing from conservative viewpoints are more likely to use four-letter
words and anonymous threats.
