I don't like the wingèd wording, either, and I don't think referring
to "blue" state-ments vs. "red" state-ments will do any more for the
critique of mathematical reason than it's already done for politics.

It does seem though that these positions are related to what is normally
called "objectivism" (also, "foundationalism" or some brands of "realism")
versus "coherentism" in philosophy generally.
