I'm sorry, but I don't see any reason for your post. Khadgar gave a correct summary of why the names of our political parties don't mean much anymore. You criticized that without providing a single argument, writing a post that contained nothing but personal accusations. If you disagree, then why not address the (in your opinion) questionable statements with counter-arguments, instead of running a personal attack?

Nevertheless, it's nice to see people talking about politics, but I find it rather pointless to flame one side. Thinking in the category of sides, is by itself pretty unconstructive, in my opinion. I know, you don't see the posts above as flaming, but I think they subtly are. I probably wouldn't have replied this way to your post, but anyway, I don't take it too seriously here, as I'm sure Khadgar doesn't either.
But seriously, Khadgar's post may be subtly flaming, but yours is flaming with no subtlety at all. Calm down. Have a nice, relaxing, intellectual chat. Believe it or not, there have actually been plenty of times when this forum has been used for intellectual discussions. Really, the only online media that don't work for in depth discussions are sites like Twitter and Tumbler.
