And as my theme today was on challenging compromise, how about this? We have seen our only real alternative parties meld into a mush of compromise marred ever so lightly by single issue or highly limited focus parties like those which have flailed and failed in past elections. They give us the Marx brothers, Grouchy, Harpie, and Karl, all great compromisers of our American values.

But what about a new party which reflects our own principles, one, which by definition refuses compromise? Try this one on for size!

I did!

America's Independent Party has as its goal the return of our nation to a set of foundational principles. We call them "the American Principles." The word "principle" comes from a Latin root which means "first things." The American Principles are the "first things" that our country should consider – in domestic policy, foreign policy, the internal functioning of government, and in using the "bully pulpit" of public office and the political arena to promote certain societal virtues and behaviors.

America's Independent Party recognizes that these "first things" are clearly defined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.

We also believe that there is room for debate over prudential policy matters within certain parameters of fundamental American political thought and a framework of ordered liberty....

And while we ponder, we may give our thoughts and prayers to our dear founder in great need of them.

I don’t have a lot of information but want to give you a quick update on Jim.

When the nurse came by this morning to change his bandages, she told Jim to go to emergency right away. He is sooo dehyrated that she says it is dangerous.

Due to his muscular dystrophy, he is not regaining the ability to move his legs. He is still uncomfortable and in pain. His medications makes him sick so, according to Sheila, he doesn’t always take it when he should. His left leg is still bad.

I will call again later to see how it went today. He left about 10:30 and was not home yet.

Please continue to pray for Jim.

What everyone needs to understand is that, in a compromise, each party gives up something, but still gets part of what they want. The left NEVER goes for this and with pro-life matters it's even worse because there view of compromise is to just not murder as many (or simply do it differently).
