I don't think we are. Certainly, we can disagree with each other about certain things. (Heck, I'm a free market anarchist. If I ever see someone here at AWRM who agrees with everything I have to say, I'm going to run away screaming in terror.)

It's okay to disagree with each other about political philosophy but, as John Adams famously said, "Facts are stubborn things." When you find someone lying (or "distorting the truth"), it's perfectly okay to call him out on it. Fortunately, I've not seen that happen here very much, but you will on other boards--and certainly, our enemies don't hesitate to lie about us. When that happens, remember what Adams said, and act accordingly.
