NEED HONEST LIARS (Label Investigation and Approval Regulatory Services)

On the main page of today's NYT one sees the headlines:
McCain’s Conservative Model? Roosevelt (Theodore)
Obama Supporters on the Far Left Cry Foul

The use of labels by the media and the public to categorize nearly everything into 'easy to identify' and 'love or hate' binary buckets dulls the intellect, does not encourage questioning and discussion, and does great harm to a democracy. I will analyze the American fascination with labels in a future piece, but here are some common ones:

Liberal or Conservative
Red states or Blue states
Republican or Democrat
With Us or Against Us
Pro-Immigration or Anti-Immigration
Pro-Abortion or Anti-Abortion
Pro-Choice or Pro Life
Left or Right
Pro-business or anti-business
