It’s not a matter of being ridiculous. It’s a matter of what end of the telescope you’re looking. If one’s sole concern is the Obama administration and the current onward march of liberalism and where it’ll take us in the next five years then one would be foolish to reject making common cause with these people.

However, does any of that remedy the deep rooted moral and cultural problems that are enveloping western civilization? I’m not convinced of that. How would this be any different than the GOPe agitating during a particular election cycle for a candidate promising that if only they had the levers of power we can reverse these trends? It’s more of the same finger-in-the-dike, stop-gap strategy that has failed us.

Well, if you mean you'd rather do away with the half-measures and just let things go full apocalypse so that USA 2.0 can rise from the ashes, then I'm with you on that. But if you're saying that, in our attempts to reverse our present course, young people fighting government oppression while supporting abortion and gay marriage would be the same as the RINOs, then I'd have to disagree. RINOs talk about doing conservative stuff, but then they support or allow all sorts of left-wing nutbaggery. These kids are actually DOING something, taking a stand, even if it is only on a couplee of issues. They can be very useful to our cause, perhaps invaluable, as they may well be turned away from leftism when they realize that abortion and gay stuff are pushed by the same people who want 1984 to become a reality. Worked for George Orwell.
