I think when an issue is laden with emotions, then intellectual honesty goes out the window. I dont think you can be this passionate and keep the facts in mind. Emotional and factual have very little to do with each other and I think all sides are guilty of this.

Some are but I question using political ideologies and intelligent in the same sentence. Intelligent people are never so wrapped up that they cannot see the other side. Pseudo-intellects are.

No huge deal nevertheless . they're merely showing that they are in a position to't debate logically .

Yes--but especially here at YA, where people are allowed to ask "questions" in an offensive and inflammatory way. When someone asks a question like that, the focus becomes saying something to discredit them.

That statement has the ring of truth to it.
Ideologies are fine but you still have to adhere to the facts.

Ideologues often find facts to be very inconvenient truths. Facts often get ignored or countered with lies.

Honestly, I think that happens on all sides.
But to answer your question, yes.

I truly try to see both sides and can honestly tell you that any side that pushes socialism as the route for this country to take, will force me to stick with my ideologies.

yes, there are.
others just choose to focus on relevant facts, instead of those facts that cannot be changed and have no relevance to today.
