IMHO, the American electorate needs to come together, and "re-take" our country. This means, "old-time" Democrats who can't stand the way the "Progressives" are running things, and "old-time Republicans" who have to get out of the "country club" mentality, and Tea Party conservatives, who have to realize that too many people either don't understand their goals, or don't yet agree with their principles.
As the Bible says, "a house divided cannot stand"...and the Tea Party is not just a "pressure release valve", BUT, as loath as I am to say this, there must be some agreement on very basic issues (which will still inevitably involve "compromise"), and then the rest must be built from there.
Hopefully before it's too late. JMHO.
Compromise is not an option when it comes to historically reckless spending that harms our lives and the lives of future generations by setting up our currency for massive devaluation.
Compromise is not an option when it comes to allowing marriage to be perverted, allowing homosexual perversion to be normalized and allowing murder in the womb to be continued without conscience thereby devaluing life and promoting offshoot principles in euthanasia.
Compromise is not an option when it comes to our federal government telling us what we must purchase based on nothing more than the fact that we are alive and that we exist.
Compromise is not an option when government seeks to take away our weapons making it easier for people that have attained control of government offices to impose their will upon us with impunity and without limitations.
Compromise is not an option when government teaches our children ideology that runs in direct opposition to our traditions.
Compromise is what has landed us where we are today with a government that is involved in every facet of our lives and that has debauched our currency and brought us to the edge of economic collapse.
The Tea Party is not a pressure relief valve. It is a pressure cooker that is in its formative stages as a new political movement. It is in a struggle to take the reins of the republican party and it will prevail because it is based on truth and God.
