What drives your political thinking?

[The Sage of Main Street]

Applying reason and personal experience to what the self-interested, self-appointed fact-merchants want me to think.

[nathanbforrest45]

I am going to take your advise. I have heard of you so I won't listen to you.

I’m not looking for critiques of other’s thinking, debates and such. The challenge here is to reduce the one thing that most drives your political thinking down to one sentence. I’ll start...

The recognition that some principles transcend human authority.

Mostly the Constitution

[Tahuyaman]

What drives your political thinking?

The philophy of conservatism and the idea of rugged individualism.
