I agree, but I list “WoT” as the #1 issue, and if they are divided, the border is #2. While terrorists can come across both our borders, so far MOST terrorists are “over there.” So if I had to separate them, I’d put WoT #1, judges #2 (because almost everything CAN be accomplished-—the wrong way, but accomplished-—through the courts), border #3, and life #4, because I think you have to take care of those already here first, or there won’t be any unborn to worry about.
I will go along with that. Also, what I try to convince the single issue pro lifers is that abortion is an issue we will have to win over a period of time. Incrementalism is the only way. And we will win by first winning over the hearts of the people and at the same time nudging the courts in the right direction. I believe the people's view of abortion has changed a lot in recent years, progress is being made. The scales are tipping. As evidenced by the abject hysteria on the left when the subject is broached.
But the border & terrorism are not nearly so incremental. We can't whittle away at them. We need to be decisive, resolute and not go wobbly when things are not going well.
Judges are essential also, but that is a long term project which requires long term dominance by conservative thinking pols. Like terror, it will never be won without continual, never ending vigilance.
