More often, when you don't have full information, you can't make a valid observation. I find the political leaning of this board to be all over the spectrum. But, I have realized that most of the people here are not easily lumped into two broad and limiting categories.

First off, of course you can. That is the entire basis of the science of statistical analysis. Yes, yes, I know lies, damn lies etc..etc...
If you can't make observations without 100% information then you are not very observant.

To refute that from a different angle, the entire context of what we are currently discussing is this thread. I have read the entire thread, so therefore I have full information regarding this thread. I therefore once again ask, can you read this thread, and think the views are balanced? That's really all I was ever saying. After reading this thread it felt like I just watched an episode of the Daily Show. Clearly, there are more on one side than the other in this thread. It made me laugh so I posted my comment. That's all. Glad it lit a fire under all y'all, for whatever reason that may have been.

You don't have to categorize if you don't want to, but it's already been done throught the cheers for Blue and down with Red...whaetver that mean.

Only one person has said "go blue" or "we stayed blue."

Only a some of our conservative board regulars have been online today-- but I have to agree with you that I see a slant toward liberal thinking of all kinds here at LoT. Still, nobody criticized you for saying so, they criticized your implication that liberals cannot hold a civil debate. For values of [they=Greg] and [criticize=point out].
