I would hardly characterize having a preference for individual freedom to be an obsession with "ideological purity". Whether or not an outcome is "good" or "bad" is entirely subjective. An arbitrary designation such as that simply doesn't carry the philosophical/ethical heft necessary to adequately justify the revocation of individual rights, which are the birthright and heritage of every American.
