“Negotiating would only embolden conservatives”
And by golly, we can’t have THAT! Why, next thing you know, they will be calling for balanced budgets, sticking to the actual words of the Constitution, rolling back welfare, and when we get into a shooting engagement with misunderstood third-world types, these darned conservatives will be insisting we WIN in these engagements. Even if it means that everybody in America has to learn how to use and keep firearms.
