But that does not mean that every position they have is wrong.

There are some here who actually will reject what used to be a liberal political position because a libertarian has expressed a similar position and thus it must be wrong. This idea seems to be unique to America's "with us or against us" mentality.

People seem to be losing historical perspective, in the past (when the Republican party was not bat shit crazy) it was normal for a good part of the party planks to overlap.
