I'm generally sympathetic to much of what this article is arguing, but I really wish everybody would agree to stop using "the Left" / "the Right" as if they were meaningful descriptors. Strive for more nuance, not less. I firmly believe that a large percentage of politically sensitive arguments would calm down if people would be specific about what they have a problem with and not try and generalize it.
Also, see Betteridge.
