   Once you've decided you're righteous, you lose the ability to tell political positions from moral. You think whatever is "best" for the body politic is morally correct. You forget that these prescriptions come not only from your political opinions about what are the correct goals, but also your completely unjustified straight-up-guesses about the correct steps to *achieve* those goals, which causes will lead to which effects, and how the rest of us will behave in response.

     This is why some of us are only really interested in trying to reduce the reach of the righteous, no matter their affiliation or goals.

     Yeah, deciding you are righteous completely misses the very important fact that we are all weak sinners.

     An old teacher once told us: "Progressives are great at seeing problems, but terrible at finding solutions."

     I suppose conservatives have the opposite blind spot.
