Well, frankly, that, or ignore, exclude or selectively, snidely caricature the other side's arguments; if there's only one position admitted into evidence, to the exclusion or abuse of all contrary opinion, it probably looks like the best opinion, no?
I offer the Left's absolute, messianic faith* in the "fact" of Global Warming as Exhibit A to the two foregoing examples.

Oooooh - and I offer "lowering taxes raises overall tax revenues" as the conservative equivalent "fact". Ditto "pulling up by the bootstraps" as the all-encompassing methodology for solving social ills.
I had nearly already posted to this thread --> I can't understand the mentality behind listening to talkback radio. Either you disagree with the host and/or guests/callers... and get pissed off, OR you may find yourself agreeing with them.
If the latter is the case, it might be time to sit down and have a long, hard think about yourself. Having opinions the same as someone who is paid to be an opinionated ********* is not a primary goal I have in life
