Conservative logic: "Abandonment of analysis and discourse in favor of political ideology"

Republican governance
groland lays it out

"The single most damning legacy of the new right as practiced by the Bush administration is the abandonment of analysis and discourse in favor of political ideology. By subverting rational thought processes in favor of wishful thinking, by abandoning scientific data, by ignoring academic experts who spent lifetimes studying specific areas, by promoting political goals over the well being of the country, the new right has failed this nation at every level. Whether we are talking about foreign relations, intelligence, economics, or civil liberties, the Bush administration has pursued goals based on purely political stances that had no real basis in fact. Every expose written about the white house by republican insiders essentially tell the same story. A complete lack of analytical thought, no dissent, and no real intellectual engagement by the President. There is no substitute for stupidity."
