You can tell when someone has a political agenda that doesn't mesh with common sense. How you ask? It's easy to do because one of the first comments to come out of their mouth is to claim "it's not that simple" when you give a simple, common sense solution to the problem that they are looking to d 
efend. They then tear off into long winded diatribes trying to explain why things are not "that simple".
It doesn't matter whether they are hard core liberals that would prefer the former Soviet Union to America, soft core liberals who are unable to fully commit to the communist nanny state and are content to give socialism a whirl, pseudo-conservatives, wanna-be libertarians or anarchists. They all use the same excuse.
But I am here to tell you that nine times out of ten yes, it really is "that simple". That one time out of ten where something isn't "simple" is like when you are trying to explain to a wacko-environmentalist, without any idea about how complicated the Earth is, that when you take into account the sun and all the normal activities on the planet that release things like CO2 into the atmosphere how it is idiotic to blame man for global warming.
As an author published on a myriad of sites around the internet, every week the "it's not that simple" crowd comes out of the woodwork trying to complain that topics I discuss in 1500 words or less simply do not address the "real depth of the problem". You can insert whatever "problem" you want. But the fact is that even if I were to write an entire 300 page book on the "problem" they still wouldn't be satisfied.
This is all because they think that they, and only they, understand the "real depth of the problem". But what you find when going through their rants and wails is that such complaints are little more than rambling excuse making designed to do nothing more than promote inaction on whatever the issue is. Then maybe they even put themselves or one of their like thinkers up as a potential arbiter and to accrue power.
The examples are numerous of this type of action.
