It is impossible for you to actively fight for everything you believe in. Does the fact that you have to pick your battles mean you don’t really believe in the things you don’t actively fight for?

Typical no guts, RINO-thought.

If you're not willing to fight for the very construct that is the bedrock foundation of our free republic, then what will you fight for?

You disagree that you have to pick your battles?

Do you oppose genocide in Darfur? Really--what are you doing about it? What could be more important than preventing genocide?

Do you oppose sex trafficing in Thailand? What are you doing to stop it? Surely this is one of the most heinous things happening in the world today.

Do you oppose land confiscation in Zimbabwe? Are you doing anything about it? Seems like a pretty serious problem, given that it's leading to the starvation of millions, no?

I agree that these things are horrible, but I'm not really in a position to do much about them (and marching around in "awareness" campaigns does not count as accomplishing something) so I'm focusing on other battles. Does that mean that I don't really care about care about genocide or sex trafficing? Does the fact that you aren't doing much about them (correct me if I'm wrong) mean you don't really care about those issues?

There are lots of problems in this world. How do you choose which ones are worth your time? Am I required to choose the same ones or be a "no guts RINO"?
