Well, you're wrong on both counts:
1) No, there are many kinds of everything, and
2) No, you don't think.

I'm not a Republican, but I do tend to be more conservative than liberal. That said, I've been accused of being both due to my opinions on various subjects. I know many extremely intelligent people who listen to Rush Limbaugh (he is quite witty, after all); not so many of them like Hannity or Coulter.

You, on the other hand, usually come across as just as opinionated and lock-stepped as the people you like to point fingers at. I don't see you as any more open-minded or thoughtful in your arguments than some of the people on the "other side of the fence". You seem to already know that you are right and those who disagree with you are wrong, misguided, lying or just plain stupid. Of course that's true of a lot of conservatives as well.

I myself try to see all sides of situations and leave myself open to reasonable debate.
