No.
Reparations are against our principles, but by a compromise there, can we make up much more than we lose on this front on other fronts?
To quote Alan Keyes "I don't compromise on my principles."
If the price of getting your own freedom from tax slavery is to give it to another group first, you really wouldn't take that deal?
No. I won't take it. Somebody's got to pay taxes, and if this turkey flies, it'll end up being you and me, the fair-skinned ones.
Maybe, just maybe, it is worth thinking about how to advance it in such a way that it severely damages the D party use of it without horrendously violating our principles. I think that is what Keyes is up to.
I don't want to think about reparations. I want to put a bullet through it's head, and bury it on the ash heap of history.
I really can't believe you'd even consider giving a single inch on something so blatantly racist and anti-conservative as reparations in any form!
I'm with you, "Chuck". ; )
Why? Think through the first, second and third order implications. I think it at least might overall advance our agenda. And I know you have not honestly assessed the possibility.
To quote Alan Keyes
I'm glad you think so highly of Keyes
"I don't compromise on my principles."
Then you make yourself politically irrelevant. Politics is compromise. Deal with it.
Somebody's got to pay taxes,
If you are not for fighting for individual rights, including property rights, what are you doing in this party? Have you really resigned yourself to our current socialistic wealth transfer system?
I don't want to think about reparations.
THAT is readily apparent. You're all emotion, and no logic or rationality. There is no point in continuing to talk to you. Much like many leftists, you can't reason with them, so there is no point talking to them.
