Your talking about the "give an inch, they take a mile crowd". History tells us not to trust them.

Any progress is better than not even trying.. Can't you think of one single thing that you would be willing to budge an inch for the benifit of the future.. It can be a trade off.. are you willing to trade something, anything that isn't as important as the way we are heading?

Peace with LIBERALS? The only good liberal is a convicted liberal.

Close but no cigar.. I am serious.. is there anything that they could give up that would be worthy of your compromise? ANYTHING?

No. That's exactly what they want - they want forgiveness without atonement, forgetting without reparations. They want the benefits of Christmas without the rites (or ceremonies) or the reasons.

To H--- with that, and to H--- with them.

Not only was this a great response but it was totally accurate and straight to the point!

Poiiiint out the ignorance rather than attack the poster.

Against the law is against the law.

Are you in favor of people being able to "marry" animals such as sheep or ducks?

Using your logic this would be okay too.

How about 5 year olds?

We grown ups have to keep a leash on those who have yet to grow up. We use laws to accomplish this task.

You can try to come to "peace" terms with those that differ from you and your beliefs, but the problem with that, and what makes that impossible is that their goals and beliefs are completely opposite to yours and seek to override yours.

What would you think if I told you that we are a lot closer than we are lead to believe on several subjects that are bedrock principles of ours.. such as Gun Control, Abortion, and the radical Gay agenda.. Many Democrats are a lot closer to us than their own party..

I'd like to see some kind of rapprochement between atheistic science and theistic science in the schools. We are a country that espouses faiths of all kinds, and protects the freedoms of those who have no religious inclination of any kind. As such, I am happy to allow atheistic science a say in my kids classroom if only they would also allow that say to be countered by the reasonable assumption that God is just as natural as the universe He created.

In addition, I am happy to concede that atheists and atheistic science have many good things to contribute to society at large and science in particular. They may even make more practical policies in many fields, not the least of which is the conservative agenda. This from a convinced young earth creationist and solid pro-life advocate WRT to unborn children.

Merry Christmas!

Carlo,

If you had ten kids how many would you feed to the wolves to sate their appetite?

One, two or more?

Their plan is to eat all of your kids yet you want to meet them half way.

The "wolves" simply need to be destroyed.

Why must the burden always be on us?

We've already given too much already. We've allowed the Collaborators to live, the Perverts to infiltrate the elementary schools...

Perhaps instead of giving yet again, we need to focus on getting, such as some spine and combat the further erosion of Society.

To see the cockroaches disappear is my Christmas wish, anyway.

Quit fighting it, AIDS will eventually solve the problem providing we quit treating them and looking for a cure.

Yes, their citizenship and their residence in this country. That would be sufficient.

I would feed them 6.. yeah, 6 would be plenty.. How do you justify saying this to me my dear FRiend when all I want is to start a reasonable conversation about our future..

I doubt that there are more than a few on this board that are fighting with me that not too long ago were Democrats.. I am saying that there are millions more on the cusp that are waiting for someone to stop pulling so they could get a rest and let go of the cause long enough to think about it!

Most of the comments I have addressed and some I read have been ignorant, except for one poster

Fight an agenda rather than recognize the rights of infdividuals.

Deny equal access to government because it will lead to an Orwellian society. and on and on.

Thanx for the opportunity to clarify for you.

Now for your ignorant comments. Some laws used to allow women and blacks as property. So yes, the law is the law. So what? A change is proposed to allow for adult taxpaying citizens to have equal access, pursue liberty and happeness. I don't see why you have a problem with that. Every year there are laws listed that are on the books and obsolete or ridiculous.

Are you in favor of people marrying rocks? If you don't know the difference between marrying an adult and marrying animals or five year olds, perhaps you should stay inside.

Now that you play such a big part in it, do you see the ignorance on the thread?

Let's say you take in a homeless person and let him/her live in your house with you. Then this person rares back and says that "this is my house" and tries to throw you out.

How much are you willing to "compromise?"

Are you going to relent and just give him/her half?

Some things can be compromised, others, like the destruction of the fabric of our country, that made her great, nothin' doing!

Liberals are no longer just getting their way in ushering in their socialistic "utopia" in this country. Of course, in view of that, they start thinking compromise. Their only alternative is defeat.

May their defeat be utter.

Not give up.. moderate, and expect something in return.. I am not a fool, I can tell you that most of my successes can from a position of inflexibility on the part of my contemporaries.. It isn't compromise, it's a strategy.. You sometime had to give to get.. Didn't you mama teach you that.. :)

Somewhere deep inside I believe that there can be a bit of common ground between the Left side of the political spectrum, and the Right.

There is no common ground. The Left are liars and have been killers throughout history.

Read The Little Black Book of Communism if you doubt me. 'Pod.

To 1. and 3. I have to say a resounding NO. Both of your suggestions require that I abandon the principles and morality that define me. Thats not something I can do. Anyone who can doesn't have any any principles to begin with. Again, NO!

To 2. Is reasonable, but you'll NEVER get the left to stop its full on assault on the Judeo-Christian belief system. It stands in direct opposition to everything they stand for and believe. The left only gains power by weakening the moral foundation of their prey. Someone with hope for the afterlife is much less likely to be suckered in this one.

4. The most qualified person should get the job. Easy enough as long as the losing applicant doesn't have a chip on his/her shoulder.

My friend I am simply pointing out that on some things we cannot compromise. Especially when those that we chose to compromise with cannot be trusted.

Chickens contribute to breakfast, pigs are committed. If you follow the path of the chicken you will soon be a pig.
