4. As Frank Herbert
(a true conservative) wrote in his Dune series--(paraphrasing) relying on absolutes is the path to insular thinking and stagnation.

6. Absolutely not true. They deal in black & white because that
is how adolescents think and how adolescents hand over 'reality' to some 'Mr. Big'. The neocons in power are thinking in terms of what black & white bullshit they can sell to people to get them to vote against their own self interest - like patriotism or the like. It is about diminishing democracy at home and replacing it with a form of tribalization that gives them a big tent. Once in power..they ignore the black & white thinkers (where is the policy on abortion?) and implement what they want for their own elite asses.

Sure they are Utopians. But mostly they are just elitists and megalomaniacs!!
