Can you post the link to the video you mention? The liberal/conservative dichotomies have been rendered useless. Pretty much, what is really focused on in our current social climate is the authoritarian/egalitarian axis. I follow Wendel Berry's creed: "I am conservative about those things that should be preserved and liberal about those things that should be changed."

Ditto to what Eric said. So glad I saw this.

Thank you for your thoughtful post. As a brand new mason (just took my 2d degree), I was fearing that perhaps all of my brother masons were of differing political persuasion than myself, and that Masonry had evolved (or always was) an institution for a particular political, social and cultural stream. That notion was particularly disturbing to me because I joined in large part to support and be a part of an institution well-suited to bringing together people of differing ideas. Your comments have restored my hope and faith.

p.s. forgive the delete, I'm new and clumsy at this.

Steve,
That is a brilliant video and I think it speaks volumes of what Freemasons engage in collectively. I am going to add an update to the post embedding this incredible video.

Pollyannaish ?? Wow. I am not sure, but I think...

Pollyannaish ?? Wow. I am not sure, but I think that might be a liberal term... ...no wait; oh, never mind.

OK. Now, jokes aside, give this video a try:

Whether you agree or not, it is pretty insightful and thought provoking.

Excellent post, ripe with insight... and subtletie...

Great post - I really enjoyed it. Like you I can be, if I allow myself, a very political animal. And ideally speaking, there is no problem in this provided all one's friends agree with one.

But politics can be insidious, and it can seduce one into believing that it's better to lose a friend than to lose an argument. For some of us that is quite destructive. Masonry shows us another way and tells us, comfortingly, that politics is not the only subject that can occupy one's mind with useful and philosophical things.
