Those holding this worldview or should I say countryview are overwhelming the site and most discussions here.

As examples.

I see this as an extension of the discussion about consideration and being a good member of OEN.

Yes, I and many others get it that some of you think that the two main American parties are either the same or part of some massive conspiracy driven duopoly. Great. More power to ya.

Does that mean you have to constantly post that as responses to articles that are not about that? The above articles are prime examples:

1. How do we reach the right wing?

Comment: All parties are part of the same!

2. Obama vs. Jindal

Comment: Dont you know all parties are part of the same!

3. The State Departments choice of a particular person as Iran envoy

Comment: See, this proves the Democrats and Republicans are part of the same

... you get the picture.

I already know some of the responses this diary will get by those having this worldview. To them, it seems on topic to virtually every article and diary posted to remind us all again, and again, and again, and again that they believe that both parties are part of the same hegelian dialectic and damn me to hell for suggesting they shouldn't write that every time they damn well please.

Is that a good thing is all I am asking. Does it improve the site and the quality of the discussions here. Does it make potential new authors want to write here if they know there is a good chance that this is what their article will be met with instead of a discussion on its points. That is what I am asking.
