“...I also am very interested in seeing how the GOPe reacts. ...”
They’re pissed, of course.
“...but I truly believe we have to learn to cooperate to get what most of us want...”
I don’t believe in cooperating with evil people, Citizen. I believe in opposing it and defeating it.
“....There’s a real Republican revolution going on right now,....”
There is, but it’s a Tea Party revolution led by Conservatives against people pretending to be Republicans.
Every RINO replaced is one less that can go Quisling on us.
“...but I truly believe we have to learn to cooperate to get what most of us want...”
...I don’t believe in cooperating with evil people, Citizen. I believe in opposing it and defeating it...
This is the reductionist crux of the entire issue.
Some people accept evil. Some do not. To cooperate with it it to accept it. Some believe in situational ethics which allows them to cooperate.
But that is not conservative. It just is not. And as Reagan said in his 75 speech, such people should go their own way. Because ultimately, they, and we are not playing on the same team, nor even in the same sport. t
Pale Pastels or bold colors? Was Reagan wrong or the cheshires? A party standing for something or compromise with those we are against? Was Reagan wrong?
This is a simple binary issue that the left had somehow clouded with a lot of psychobabble.
We either stand on principle or compromise. There is exactly nothing grey between the two. Compromise is by nature grey itself.
