      I don’t think politics should be based on belief. Beliefs imply inflexibility. I think we should look to history, find out what worked, and find out why the things that didn’t work failed, and use that to try and come up with ideas that will work in the modern context. And I definitely don’t think we should chain ourselves to ideas that aren’t working, which people seem to have a tendency to do when it’s their beliefs.

        So you’re one of those people whose whole political stance is “we should look into that.” Cool. You don’t have any thoughts? Opinions?

          That’s not what I said, and I’m not going to write you an entire thesis explaining my position on every single issue. My point is that people shouldn’t just pick one political philosophy and take every tenet it has as gospel.
