“As it says in the Gospels, via Isaiah, “he shall not quench the smoking flax...” That is, don’t stamp out people who are coming to a realization because they’re not as “perfect” as you are.”
What a pretentious and arrogant thing for you to write to me. You are totally out of line with your holier than thou lecture. Regarding Kristol, I point you to his multiple statements on Fox News wherein he has stated that Romney is going to be the nominee. I stand by my statement based upon his multiple proclamations as such.
Let he who is without sin... judge not... and I can suggest a very snug place you can pound your bible there Sparky.
Get off your high horse there pastor. All you’re doing is insulting decent people and making yourself look foolish.
It wasn’t holier than thou.
What I’m saying is that Kristol actually is conservative in a lot of ways, and we have to accept people when they are right and in the areas in which they are right, and encourage them in it. If he has come to the realization that Romney is not “it,” then this is a good thing and should be commended.
Many self-proclaimed conservatives believe in obliterating people who do not agree with them on every single point. What you have to do is work towards agreement, argue your points rationally, and convince people. There’s a lot more insulting and raving going on here than rational argument and attempts to convince people, and this is seriously counterproductive.
Kristol is not perfect and few of us are. But if only the perfect vote, we’re surely going to lose this election. And then things are going to be very, very bad for all of us.
