> you can't base national policy on emotion

Value propositions are all ultimately rooted in emotional responses to propositions which cannot be objectively supported, and all policy is ultimately rooted in value propositions; you can't not base policy (national or otherwise) on emotion.

Regardless of that, some arguments are more rational/illogical than others.
