I cannot say that I blame you. It is a perfectly valid position. In the coming decades some will choose to be conservative and irrelevant; some will choose to compromise in order to be relevant. Right but irrelevant is the position of conservatives in California and Europe, and soon the USA if the Republican Party does not figure out a way to grow.
I must say I admire your position. It is laudable to have principles, after all.
“In the coming decades some will choose to be conservative and irrelevant; some will choose to compromise in order to be relevant.”
In this life. But then we die. And after we die, we wake up. If we compromise on fundamental moral duties to be relevant in this life, we may discover that we have chosen to be irrelevant in the next one. And that one lasts a lot longer.
I cannot compromise on infanticide, because I don’t want to go to Hell.
Horse hockey. Nothing like surrendering to the socialists before the battle even commences. Sure glad our founders and the generations before us were made of sterner stock.
