Carol, your co-mudcatters don't find it quite so easy to distinguish between the two.

My "co-mudcatters"?

I see only one Mudcatter who posted that in that thread. You are doing the usual sort of "us vs. them" kind of generalizing that I see on all sides of the political spectrum. "They" are different from "me" and those like me. So therefore, what one of "them" says, they all say.

That's hardly a legitimate line of reasoning.
