We can't deal with the world the way we wished it was; we deal with as it really is.

Honestly, I'm not sure that is the case with Conservatives these days. They want what they want and they refuse to compromise. That's a good action when you have majority opinion on your side and this is indeed the case with SOME issues that are important to Conservatives. However, that is NOT the case with ALL the issues that are important to Conservatives. Refusal to compromise is not dealing wht the world as it realy is.

Compromise is a word made famous by lawyers.

I once overheard a lawyer and a client having an exchange of words.

The lawyer asked his client ... "What is it that you want?" The client said .. "Justice."

The lawyer said ... "You won't get justice in the courts. If you want justice, get a gun."
