None. That’s why the party is a complete mess. No solutions, no direction, and no principles.

And they are showing that it is at times like this...when no solutions and feeling like no direction....that one thing always matters ...principles.

I have a framed poster of a hiker with backpack crossing an iced over rope foot bridge. It says:

Courage of Integrity

The highest courage is to dare to be yourself in the face of adversity. Choosing right over wrong, ethics over convenience, and truth over popularity...these are the choices that measure your life. Travel the path of integrity without looking back, for there is never a wrong time to do the right thing.

A great statement and words to live by. Excellent post. Weakness and appeasement always take one down the proverbial slippery slope.
