A case for pragmatism?

A government, like any group of men, does not possess values.

Yesterday after writing an apology for blind ideology, I challenged myself to write one for pragmatism, and that was it, all eleven words of it. If you like, I'll go on, but really, I'm already done:

Groups of men are not moral or immoral, groups of men are not rational or irrational, are not religious, spiritual, agnostic, atheist, or adversarial to religion. These are words that describe individuals, not groups. So it is impossible for a government to be a blind ideologue: in governing there is only pragmatism.
