Personally I think that Carlson's pinning of problems on simply "the left" as opposed to specific groups is kind of counter-intuitive, but he still highlights problems his contemporaries don't, and does it in a more measured fashion at that.

University of Southern Indiana?

Not choosing corny conventional political ideologies =/= centrism

If anything, I'm an unchartedist.

I don't know if I want to go down this rabbit hole. I know MB is a bit of a breeding ground for argumentation but I'd rather not join in quite yet. I haven't even been here for a month, man.

Also, USI = unwarranted self importance

When it comes to drama, I prefer to let others throw the first Oliver Stone.

Kind of sounds like a symptom of any firm political identity.

I get what you mean. In my mind, I'm the king of England. 19th century, that is.
