I make no secret of the fact I am in fact an egoistic sociopath, a morally deficient man who advocates things that most likely nobody else would want to see implemented.
And I admit that readily.
It just seems so odd, for me, to see someone justify and glorify their longing for power and their faction's control over a Party and not have any sort of awareness of any similarities to their enemies or any amorality in their designs.
It seems people with ethical standards bend and waver those standards depending on who they're talking about and with, and what time they're making their argument. For example, being against pushing people out of a Party based upon ideological purity and comparing the Tea Party to ruthless zealots such as the Taliban, but then campaigning for the same kind of purity and, well, all of a sudden its perfectly understandable to seek purity and cast out those who do not match your vaunted standard.
By all means cast down compromise and exist within your own little bubble of ideology. But to act like you're the most noble man for doing something you already decried long ago...that really is remarkable.
