PRINCIPLES VS. POLITICS
Red County ^ | August 20, 2010 | Matthew Burke

Having moved into the life as a former candidate (WA-01), a citizen running for the first time, I can tell you that I’m pretty sick of the following phrases, “Well, that’s politics”, “It’s all about the money”, “We have to unite”, “Politics is dirty”, and “You can’t say that. You have to get the independent vote”.

Do you think the Founding Fathers thought that way, or would accept working in such a political system?...

I agree Mathew, that if we don’t win someone with principles we really haven’t won anything at all. Indeed we might have been better of losing as at least with a man who tells you what he stands for strait up you can openly opposes them radical leftist with the full support of the “moderates”.

We as a minority have this power to see to it that we cannot accept someone who will tolerate this. Tell them that will accept ever growing government that we would rather help the liberals grow the government until it collapses under its own weight then help them simply slow or simply maintain what is.

Tell them that that they are either willing to go all the way or they should go anywhere at all as it is better to let our enemy’s own contradictions with natural law and the laws of economics bring them down then moderate their end results into something oppressive yet sustainable for a short time.

This is the power of the minority, this is the power of secession the right to demand compliance or force the “moderates” who are willing to accept soft tyranny to fight that which is unacceptable to us on their own and get the whole dose until that tyranny collapses on itself.

This is the key advantage we have over liberals, we know as the USSR demonstrated that their system will fail, we need merely to survive and accelerate that failure.

In the end from the ashes of that tyranny freedom will be reborn. Moderation is our only enemy as it is “moderation” that keeps this beast sustainable enough to continue to exist for a while. It is moderation that forces us to live under this soft tyranny for as long as we have lived under it.
