El Doctor Zero sobre la apelación permanente a lo emocional que hace la izquierda:
Emotional politics quickly become bitter politics. If your vote is based largely on your ability to judge character, then criticism of your candidates becomes an insult to your wisdom, not a debate against your reasoning. Tribal loyalty coalesces around political leaders. Voting becomes an act of spiritual expression. Look at the poor souls who think voting for Obama meant voting for “free” health care, or some mystical wave of love rolling from overseas to break gently upon America’s shores. They’re not going to view people who vote against him in 2012 as a loyal opposition, engaging in a spirited contest of ideas. They’ll be the opposite of someone who’s trying to do something good.
El error que comete el Dr Zero, y toda la Randiada, es creer que a las buenas ideas de libertad, mercados abiertos, gobierno mínimo se la vende con racionalidad.
ReplyDeleteHay que empezar a apelar a las emociones, muchachos.
La razón no sirve para estas cosas.
