Try me, pal.
I didn’t accuse you of being liberal, but now you’re doing it to me?
If you think that being “conservative” means that you have to accept defeat for the sake of appearing “virtuous”, then you obviously have nothing to live for.
I would happily give up my reputation for my children’s future.
You’re not my judge. I’m not yours either, but I’ll sacrifice anything for those I those I deeply care about. You? From a few posts, now you’re Freud.
Good luck. You need it.
I sure wouldn't. That's a terrible trade, particularly if you do not have to make it.
"Who steals my purse steals trash; ''tis something, nothing; ''Twas mine, ''tis his, and has been slave to thousands; But he that filches from me my good name Robs me of that which not enriches him And makes me poor indeed."
William Shakespeare, Othello
There is absolutely no reason or excuse for Conservatives to compromise themselves to defeat Liberals. We need not and should not stoop to their level. Ever.
Principle is what separates Conservatives from Liberals. Liberals are unprincipled, by definition.
Anyrate, that's the last I'm going to say on this subject. Melas is right, and IMO you would do well to heed what he has said.
