The sweeping generalities!

I don't often watch Congress at work. With the exception of a few moments, like we've seen lately from Sen. Cruz, it's too much like watching sausage being made, which the pathetic performance in the video above so expressively demonstrates.

The sweeping generalities! The emotional manipulativeness! The attempted patriotism! The very absurdity of the appeal! The utter absence of anything resembling reason!

My Spock brain calls it interesting, even psychologically fascinating.

My Uncle Sam brain is not so emotionally uninvolved.
