Moderates are willing to compromise on their values. That's why they're referred to as moderates. Their lines are blurred. They'll take liberalism in one area to get something else in another. In the end, liberalism has increased no matter how you look at it, and liberalism is always a down hill path. Why help it? It's better to stand up and try to defeat it. When you give them an inch, they spin it into a mile.
All the gays wanted was tolerance, remember?
Abortion was to help one woman carrying a dead or soon to be dead child, remember?
After the depression, the social programs were suppose to stop. What happened? The moderates gave an inch on all these issues, didn't they? The conservatives did not, and even today they're still trying to stop it all. They know it's all going to get even worse because it always does due to "the moderate voter." They cave every time.
No, they are not; that is something you need to convince yourself of to feel morally superior when people don't agree with you.
We have values; and one of our basic values is the good of this country and our children and grandchildren.
And I've got NO value that's more important than that. If you can turn the country over to the liberals, that's on you, not us.
After the depression, the social programs were suppose to stop. What happened?
You cannot possibly be serious; if you hate it now, just wait until the liberals you helped elect get done: they're going to reinstate everything everything we've accomplished; maybe it wasn't FAST enough for you, but you can kiss the small changes good bye.
But, hey, you'll have something to bitch about, right?
