Nah. You got it wrong, mate. Joining a political party is non
thinking, ie the belief that assorted proven rogues and ruffians can
somehow improve society.


Actually...joining a political party is pro-active. Think of them as
an interest group. A group of people who have joined together to push
a common agenda. Being complex, not all members have the exact same
agendas, but pragmatic compromises are made for the "common good" as
each group sees it.

A thinking man picks the "interest group" that most meets his world
views and desires. With my interest group, its smaller government,
lower taxes, freedom and so forth.

With other action groups..say the Democrats, its Marxism, socialism,
progressivism, the Nanny State (as in the UK), limits on personal
freedoms and so forth.

True..Democrats "feel" rather than think. Few are rational, logical or
even reasonable, but shrug..we let even the retarded have their
groups..makes them feel good and they can have a sense of belonging,
that being the only sort of sense they are capable of.

True..often times the heads of those action committees are rogues or
ruffians, or worse, but they generally steer in the direction we wish.

If they dont, we unelect them and put a new group of rogues or
ruffians at the top. And they often DO what we want of them. Though to
be fair, like recalcitrant retarded children..it takes begging,
threats and so forth to get them to perform, but seldom to our
complete satisfaction.

Democrats however...are exceptions to the rules, their rogues and
ruffians tend to lead the membership around by the nose, or ear, with
cajoling, threats, fear tactics etc, so the top wags the members,
rather than the other way around. Like keepers of a group of Downs
Syndrome victims.
