Emotion and Logic

It is a classic law of sales that people make most decisions emotionally and then set out to defend them using logic.
 
The principle applies also to politics.
 
We tend to attach ourselves to political parties and/or candidates for emotional reasons and then force ourselves to reject logic when our chosen parties and heroes inevitably go against our beliefs.
 
The rise of independents as the real majority in American politics signals a growing unwillingness to let emotion trump logic.
 
While this may never fully overtake presidential campaigns, it is having a huge impact on local, state and congressional elections--and freedom is the beneficiary.
 
Whatever your political affiliations, it is vital for all of us to think as independently as possible.
 
Independence requires independent thinking.
