They aren't weird; they're ideologues. Like what Newt Gingrich says, "I'm an idealist and a romantic and a permanent optimist. And that's the American tradition." (As an aside, its funny to me that modern idealism was the conception of Kant, who was the grand muse of Marx. And these assholes think that idealism is what makes America, a country that was founded on a series of ultra pragmatic compromises, great! I'm sure Newt was well worth that $2M in historian fees!) Ideology is killing our country from the Left and Right. What we need are pragmatic leaders who have reasonable goals and a good idea of how to achieve them.
