O.k., it seems that your defense of simultaneously making vitiolic
criticisms of Republican and also claiming to be "balanced" boils down to
the fact that you consider your vitriolic criticisms of Repulicans to be
*true*. (Of course, one wonders if I can also simultaneously claim to be
"balanced" because my criticisms of Democrats are *true* - but that is
beside the point.)
Nevertheless, given your below statements:

I have to wonder..... *WHY* do you want to be perceived as "balanced"
towards Republicans?
You mention Communists in one of the above quotes. Do you consider
yourself similarly "balanced" towards Communists? Personally, I make no
bones about the fact that I am utterly opposed to Communism as an affront
to liberty and as a spectacularly bad idea. I certainly make no
pretensions about "balance" towards Communists. Do you think that it is
necessary to be "balanced" towards Communism - and if yes, do you think
that you have succeed in being so "balanced"?
So, given your opinion of Republicans - that is, given that you see
Republicans as "treasonous," "a threat to our republic", and "deadly to...
my civilization" - why would you WANT to be "balanced" in regard to such an
entity? If you truly believe all of those things about Republicans,
wouldn't you want to be inexorably opposed to Republicans? Doesn't the
situation call for "imbalance" and vigorous opposition instead? That is
the question I am struggling to understand about your position.
