There's a huge battle going on; it's a battle for the soul and future of this Country.
The forces fighting this battle are both driven by ideological fuel, and armed with a great weapon...the guarantee that all are free to believe and think as they so desire, and the ability to effect change as self-governed people.
There are two major armies enjoined in this battle, and we have taken position on a battlefield called "governmental politics", the battle will be won there, as will the future of the nation.
Some people in this country, though armed with equal weapons, have chosen to stand in an empty battlefield, and wait there in the outside chance that the battle will be relocated to suit them.
That's where you are, standing someplace other than where the battle is taking place, not testing the metal of your weapon, and waiting for whatever the outcome of that battle may be, and whatever may befall the nation as a result of it.
You hoist your "principles" as though no one but you posses them, you are wrong, we all do to a great extent.
What I don't believe in, is that by refusing to join the battle, I can somehow help win the war.
You believe that, and you are wrong.
Sun Tzu said that the best way to defeat an enemy is by dividing them, you are the result if that tactic being executed by the enemies of our nation.
The most ironic part is that you probably see yourself as some sort of patriot, when in effect, you are little more than a pacifist on your way to becoming a victim.
This battle, joined by a vast coalition of those willing to fight, will one day bring about well-deserved victory, and those like you, who never actually joined in, will be poised and ready to claim the victory as your own.
And if we don't, you will likewise ready to blame the loss on the people that actually fought while you didn't.

Maybe all that flowery and misdirective language will disguise the fact that you're getting your butt kicked on this thread.
