Conservatives have been compromising for as long as I can remember. In fact I am not sure they really stand for anything.
We have nothing left to compromise. But I won’t take my marbles and go. I’m ready to load my slingshot with them.
Give me a choice and I will vote for it. Give me NO choice, a HOBSON'S choice, and I see no point in voting.
The solution to the intractable differences between liberals and conservatives is:
“We have our states, you have yours, and a small federal government we can both tolerate.”
Thus, our offer of compromise to their proposals should be: “Our compromise is to tolerate your proposal being the law in states you control.” (That could be high taxes, socialist medicine, legal pot, welfare for illegals).
Folks, this is not hard to grasp. It is not complex. Just like Obama zombies, people supposedly calling themselves conservatives want so badly to believe that there is a white knight or the horizon, they are willing to do anything including flush their entire reason for claiming conservatism to get one.
This guy is a very educated man. He makes many good points. He even has flashes of actual conservatism.
He is also a fraud.
A conservative does not preach the Compromise Gospel in the name of winning. A RINO does. A Cheshire Conservative does. Or a Dem when they think they can profit from doing so. If your neighbor told you to compromise your beliefs, would you?
Well? Why not? Many are willing to do it over some guy they only read about or saw on TV. Why not? Why not compromise your under age daughter to the resident sex perv in the park? Don’t get uppity and offended with me unless you can say one ‘principle’ is good to keep and another isn’t. Because that is what Carson and anyone that backs him is saying with this ‘compromise’ crap. Words mean things.
Principles are inviolate. And people that are willing to compromise them away deserve no ‘rights’ at all because in their own spirit of compromise, those are fair game to trade away as well. Can’t have it both ways.
So until any of the compromisers here are willing to address the above, which is a fact based and non-strawman argument, so please spare me that lame ass excuse, they need to go sit in a corner and reevaluate their reason for hanging out on right wing forums. Because they aren’t here to further conservatism and protect our core principles.
