Well, one out of 10 , pillaging kind of runs in my Norse Irish genes .
Number 6 is the whole sum of liberalism.
It is not a political philosophy based on reason, it is a religion dedicated to worship of the "State".
They believe in a higher power just as devoutly as you do.
Where you surrender to the "Will of God" they surrender to the "Will of the State".
I have to point out here that I keep telling you Conservatives "Rules for Radicals" has no political leanings.
It may have been written by a communist, but it is simply a very well reasoned instruction manual for getting power. It will work just as well for conservatives if they were smart enough to grasp that there is, and never has been, any place for ethics, or principle involved in getting power.
The usual sob sisters will whine "There should be", tough, if you don't want to get muddy, don't play with the pigs.
If you actually want to effect change accept the fact that God ignores campaigns, He only cares about what you with the power once you've got it.
