Good principle makes good politics. Lack of principle is what makes the mess we are living in. Had enough? Try consistent principle.

Consider yourself quoted.

Here are some good principles:

1. Full support of the 2nd amendment
2. Complete opposition to abortion
3. Complete opposition to gay marriage
4. Support for property rights
5. Support for a republican (rather than pure democratic) government
6. Support for three divided branches of government that limit themselves to the powers listed in the Constitution

So if I follow your logic (or lack thereof) every organization should support all of these all the time in everything they do along with a host of other principles or else they are being inconsistent.

I can see individual people supporting all of the principles above, but organizations need to have a focus in order to be successful. We as individuals can join and support many organizations with different focuses, but each of those organizations has to have a particular focus in order to be successful.
