-Back to something like a useful discussion.
Boru, would you say that I'm making a distinction that makes no difference? I don't vote and I was appointed (in part) on the basis of folks perceiving me as apolitical. I have (strong) political views....but I go out of my way to ignore those views in my capacity as a member. Is that political?
I know how I think the world should be - but I'm not wedded to making it that way, particularly when some other way solves a problem in front of me.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

If you want to live in a better world you need to be intensely interested in politics. Politics is everything.

I'm anti 24 news cycle politics, CNN, MSNBC, FOX.
I don't need to be told what I should consider politically important or what position I should take on this or that political event.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Its the other way around for me. I eat that shit up - I just separate it from my professional life.

You will follow anyone that is charismatic. Therefore your contributions are mindless shit.
I suggest some you get some Jim Jones sermons on tape.

Nothing is better or worse than anything else, fundamentally. Not news channels, or child rapists. tsk tsk.
