This is why guilty Democrats need to be in prison. Show them that this is an ugly game if it’s played the way they play it.

If each party can be “the loyal opposition” we would all be better off.
The Democrats need to improve on the “loyal” part.
The Republicans need to improve on the “opposition” part.

Imagine an Amway convention where a weird guy went around saying things like, “using relationships to influence people’s buying behavior is fundamentally wrong, don’t sell things to others..!”

can you imagine how that person would be perceived?

yet that is how it’s been to be a conservative in DC.

And so after awhile certainly after several years, our guys want to join the “cool group”, so they start talking liberal.

There is an understandable seduction process but it’s totally infuriating.

Democrats can be more partisan because they all believe in two things: practical socialism and humanism. Everything they do comes out of one or both of those things.

Meanwhile, we believe in isolationism, except when we believe in interventionism, or something in between. We believe in Christianity, except when we don’t, or when things like helping the poor cuts into the bottom line. We believe in jobs for Americans, except when those jobs can be found cheaper in another country, or we can import foreigners to work cheaper.

The bottom line is that they do partisanship very well because they are monolithic to the point of being a hive-mind. Our side acts like a collection of humans who each believes in individual freedom, so we are free to want the things that matter to each of us, individually.

It’s kind of like the way a criminal organization sticks together on a story or an operation.

A strong article up to a very weak concluding paragraph.
