The ideological mind divides the world into Us versus Them. The ideological mind is a fortress, ever vigilant against infiltration and treason. The ideological mind keeps its eye on the prize, keen to weed out those who impede progress. And so we have Establishment Democrats, Wall Street Democrats, and now Corporate Democrats: the Left's New Despicables.

One has to appreciate the possibility of being wrong.  That doesn't mean "wait and see" until you are certain - because certainty rarely arrives, except too late.  By all means, boldly go where your intuitions lead - and then accept these are intuitions and the gut isn't always right. You might have to change course.

Beware the power of rhetoric to persuade the speaker as well as audience. Harsh tactics easily morph into harsh attitudes. Habits of speech become habits of mind. And once your mind becomes a fortress, you'll never be short of enemies.
