Bingo! Give that man a cigar!
The conspicuous lack of criticism of the left is ample evidence that left-leaning ideals represent the ideals of most people in the message boards you mention. Everyone is guilty of selective application of critical thinking, everyone. But, at some point in your life, you and everyone else settled on something they believe is right and just. Very few people will question seriously what they've decided they believe.
