Took your test, we seem to agree on 83% of the issues. As the old saying goes, if someone agrees with you 80% of the time, he is your friend and not too far apart in what you want. You’ll never have 100% agreement and there are times compromise is needed. It does not say you need to bend until you break but the need is there although I’d never compromise with the Democrats we have now.

Did I say this was the extent of my political philosophy? No. But I do believe it to be the core issues of conservativism. Your argument is that the core should mould around you and your beliefs. I am arguing something entirely different.

Someone who is willing to work with conservatives, has to be willing to uphold all of these conservative principles, even if they do not personally agree with them - that goes for you, for me, this is a non-negotiable.
