SO what are YOU willing to compromise, Johnnie?

are you williing to compromise the foundation of America?

How do you support the troops and yet not stand strong in demanding border security?

I mean their deaths, their life without limbs, and months of suffering, watching their friends die- ALL of it is futile if we simply allow terrorists to waltz across the border.

I believe the troops are there to fight for our security and safety. And yet we cannot expect our Congress and President to secure the border and enforce the laws? You cannot sacrafice THAT? They sacrafice it ALL, and you cannot sacrafice what?

Where do we lose to stand SOLID on enforcing the borders Johnnie? WHERE? MOST Americans want the border enforced..not just us little immature kids throwing temper tantrums that call ourselves conservatives....

This is where you calling anyone else a 100%'er is the pure epitome of hypocrisy.

Not to mention that not once did I attack YOU and call you immature or any other name... You are acting like a damn Lib when you stoop to that level as I make points on the facts, the issues, and ask honest and sincere questions about our so-called principles...

You may think your harsh rhetoric against the folks on "YOUR SIDE" is cute and you might sit back high-fiving yourself for such pungent little posts....but if you take the time to actually read my posts, and YOUR responses, you just might get a clue as to which one of us truly is throwing a temper tantrum and acting childish and immature.

Nope. Not what I said. I was not the one bragging about "being a 100%er" you were. I merely pointed out the difference between passionately fighting FOR what you believe in and being a "100%er". Being passionate about something means you can understand the value of Compromise. Being a 100%er means you think Compromise is some sort of dirty word.

So will I compromise? Sure. So do you. Do it every day in your own life. Everyone does. For example, having some twit cut in line ahead of you. I compromise but NOT grabbing him by the scuff of his neck and dragging him kicking and screaming to the end of the line. That what I want to do, but as an Adult I accept the fact that my solution is not actually going to be very workable and compromise by simply verbally challenging him for cutting the line

For some bizzaro reason that mindset changes totally the second politics is discussed. Suddenly it because absolutely earth shattering important that every single issue being settle exactly the way the person feels it should be or else it the end of the world. Sorry, the real world does not work on those sorts of absolutes.

So yes I will compromise. For example, I would happily exchange a real serious border enforcement measure with serious fencing and enforcement teeth against employers of illegals in exchange for a massive overhaul, simplification and huge increase in immigration quotas that allows MANY more legal immigrants.

In order to finally get a Conservative dominated Judiciary FINALLY I will swallow my disgust and accept a Farm Bill, a n Education bill and a Medicare RX bill that spends hundred s of billions.

To win the war I will accept the President has to some time play nice with absolute scum bags like Hillary, Bill Clinton, Ted Kenndy et al. in an effort to court some "Bi partisan consensus."

What I am NOT willing to compromise is, for the sake of "playing nice together" and this need for emotional self validation, give into this rather silly notion around here that SOME how the world can be made perfect for Conservatives if they simply post longer, screamer louder or magically nominate the exactly the right candidates for election.

The best guy we will ever see in our political life was Ronald Reagan, and god bless him he was NO where near politically perfect. Today's 100%ers would be foaming at the mouth about how "Reagan is no Conservative".

We cannot win just by preaching to the choir. To win we have to bring some parts of the squishy middle, the fearful, the timid the lazy with us. Dogmatic purity and wishful thinking may make us feel good, it will not get us anywhere near where we want to go.

But I see that is far too "moderate" a postition for the modern "Conservatives" to even consider
