"Individual and governmental morality (which means politics) should be based on a philosophy of reason -- not on fideism, Biblicism, traditionalism, dictation by the majority ("democracy"), consensus (majoritarianism), pragmatism, or multiculturalist averaging."
I disagree. Individual morality is not based on politics, rather, politics is based on morality. If God-fearing individuals relied on a philosophy of reason (as you suggest) we would, of all people, to be pitied. You are speaking from a secularistic mindset and it doesn't match up with Scriptures.

The problem arises when they confuse a secularist mindset with an American one. They are actually quite incompatible.
