The same for me, Norm. That's what I'm talking about. We can't change everything in the blink of an eye, on day one of a conservative Presidency. We don't like Zero using EO's to get what the Dems want.
As to abortion, homos and gun control, we have to work on eliminating government funding for Planned Parenthood (which is just a government-funded abortion clinic), shore up DOMA, and (like I posted in a gun control thread elsewhere) make our own proposals to actually releax the gun laws. Fight fire with fire. Every time the libs propose another gun law, propose a law eliminating some gun law. Even if it only gums up the works for the lib proposal, it'll show them that we mean business.
We are going to have to accept, for the time being, abortion, etc. and work the salami approach - slice-by-slice - until we whittle it down to practically nothing. Think of smoking. Instead of making laws eliminating it, we've made the cost fairly prohibitive and we've educated people, using peer pressure, to not do it. It's a free country, smoking is still legal, so people can do it in the privacy of their own home (like I do with my pipe).
One step at a time, man. Just don't give up, and stop trying the all-or-nothing approach. It's definitely not working.
It’s not working as it’s not been tried to begin with.
It is a simple logic problem. Can you go right by moving left? No. But we collectively are not even holding the line. Every move takes us leftward. And Mitt was a leap left. Even if you voted for him, I don’t know how that can be denied.
The GOP saw the sheer number of people willing to compromise and so they went left. Bhoner’s BS since the election proved that.
I know we can’t get it all at once. But if we do not stand ground, we lose ground, not gain any.
