We are all 'basically like minded' and agree on the goal. We're disagreeing over strategy & tactics. Here's an article which analyzes this strategy question as it regarded the battle over ending the scourge of abortion.

'All or None' vs. 'Incremental'

Which strategy is more effective is a legitimate question that conservatives should be able to disagree upon and still respect and think well of each other without resorting to personal attacks or name-calling which is the trademark of the RATs not us.

Short version from my time fighting the landuse wars while I was Ed at off-road.com...

All us hardcore offroader types were naturally anti land closure. But when rubbr hit dirt, many chose to compromise with the greens and BLM rather than fight to keep areas/trails open.

today every one of the areas I was involved in is either closed, severely restricted, or was closed over endangered snarfblats then sold to developers who built mcmansions and malls....Oh and the Nevada solar plant too.

The people who chose to compromise were real upset once it was too late.

Incrimentalism means you lose a piece at a time. Eventually you are left with nothing. In no manual of strategy does consistent compromise over decades result in victory for the person giving away his ‘assets’. none.
