I could make time to debate this with you, but I choose not to bang my head on the table in frustration.
Your logic is as shallow as your absolutes and demonstrates why I neither turn my back on Republicans (among others).
For the record, I tend to vote republican, though I’m more of an independent voter (only reason I tend to vote republican is because that’s usually the party that makes any attempt at removing Roe v. Wade and promoting the right to life. Had someone like Randall Terry been running, I’d vote for even a Democrat if they had every intention of removing Roe v. Wade and promoting the right to Life). And I don’t have any real problem with the Louisiana Purchase, or our having a standing military, for that matter (if anything, I have massive problems with those who insist we gut our military or reduce our borders). But I do think that if you’re going to argue against something, you must not have any contradictions to your argument, otherwise you are forced to discard them.
And as far as my absolutes, absolutes are pretty much what allow me to function in the world, and besides which, God demanded for absolutes Himself. And my logic isn’t “shallow”, either. I’ve given some pretty deep thought into it, and wasn’t something I take lightly when I explained them.
