Pretending that your position is the center, and everyone who disagrees with you is an extremist doesnt work very well.

The right doesnt oppose clean air, it opposes giving Al Gore's carbon credit company a blank check.

The right (in the US) could just as easily ask why has boarder security become a left right issue.

That's because the right made it a partisan issue.
