I wouldn't associate politics to a bird without wings. If you need to use analogy it means you don't think the audience you're talking to understands what you're saying, and while that may be the case, I don't think you know what you're talking about.

I get what you're saying, in fact, I think we all get it. The point is, you're not bringing anything new to the table. In fact, I would expect something like this from someone who is 17 and just now forming an opinion of his/her own.

"I am not advocating bringing down this country stone by stone and building it back up.
I AM advocating bringing down the obsolete, out of date, and useless trends in this country stone by stone and using what we already have to work with to put it back, but better."

Do elaborate.
