but to put the burden on one part of the political spectrum to police their responses, to squelch their own political views and not have this apply to others feels quite unfair.

Nobody is being asked to squelch their political views. People are being asked to respect one another. If someone wants to start a thread about raising/cutting taxes it is reasonable to expect that the thread won't be overun with people that want to talk the government being immoral. When your posts contribute nothing to the topic at hand and serve only to cause others to leave they are no longer welcome.

Come on. If someone posts an OP on how to test whether someone is a witch, does it "contribute nothing to the topic at hand" to question whether or not we should be testing for witches? If others choose to leave because they cannot take someone questioning their premises, a perfectly legitimate avenue of argument, how is that the questioner's fault or problem?
You're simply attempting to control discussion and exclude important fundamental questions that deserve to be addressed.
