On some levels, you can also have this feeling that we are being duped, somehow. And that the world is at play for something you would understand more if it were pure ideology. It is a very strange time and also basic things are being taken away.

It can be easy and tempting, especially during a presidential campaign, to listen only to opinions that mirror and fortify one's own. That's not ideal, because it eliminates learning and makes it impossible for people to understand what they dismiss as 'the other side.'

There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil.

I find the world just too complex to embrace a single ideological point of view.

At the end of the day, Americans are not so keen on ideologues, people who have such fixed positions that they can't see any virtue in the other side's point of view.

There's a tendency, especially among revolutionaries, to only show the good side of yourself and then when you come to power, the bad side comes out.

Therefore the vast majority of the people who affirm leftist beliefs think of their views as the only way to properly think about life.

Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

It's this upside-down world that we live in where we afford political correctness to the most intolerant group of individuals on the planet.

When you look at all of the conservative groups in town and across the country, we all agree on the same things. Where we sometimes get into a disagreement is over the tactics to get to the endpoint.
