See there! My point exactly. You never miss a chance to try to make the rest of us feel like we don't have principles because we don't all agree with YOU.

Not at all. There are many disagreements among consrevatives, but we're presumably rowing in the same direction. If anything defines conservatism, it's limted government, constitutionalism, the idea that government is not the solution, it's the problem (as Ronaldus Magnus reminded us) and we would do a lot better with less of it. Sopmetimes you'll win that, sometimes you'll lose it, but to achieve vicxtory, first you must seek it. It doesn't seem to me that the programs I mentioned advance the cause of limited government. They make government bigger, more expensive, and more intrusive.

I notice your total unwillingness to debate the merits of the issues but instead you just hurl invective at people because they dare disagree with YOU and your precious party.

Do you disagree with the GOP and the Administration on anything?

I am unwilling to debate YOUR "merits" since you have tried to characterize ME with your broad brush.

I have no intention of defending myself to anybody on this forum.

I made a blanket statement about the unappeasables on this forum who delight in trying to denigrate anybody who doesn't agree with their view of what conservatism is; you must have recognized yourself and replied. I stand by my statement. And I think every time you post, you're proving my orginal statement.
