Content in the politics, election and immigration sections demonstrates so staid a devotion to the thrum of mindless emotion as to grind at the psyche of all who think critically and logically.

I keep a ‘.txt’ file of questions from these sections – NOT taken at random, but inclusive of every question asked. With very rare exceptions, all are a parroting of the mainstream media… or worse, a back and forth between arch-rivals defending these identical parties as if one were God and the other Satan.

I and the author of your referenced article have disturbingly accurate case-evidence to the contrary. For example:

"Among Republicans who share the mainstream view, 77% say it’s best to let AIG go out of business. So do 70% of Democrats in this group and 72% of those not affiliated with either major party. There are roughly equal numbers of Republicans and Democrats holding the mainstream, or populist, view."

So? …

… hmm… Yes.

The political class defies every cornerstone of logic any of us has ever learned.

Out with the old.

In with reason.

Back to the Constitution.
