It is as if you have examined the several conservative perspectives on this election – and as well the others you cite in an attempt to rationalize your conclusions – through the wrong end of a very powerful refractive telescope.
My point, simply, is this: Many decent, honorable, intelligent and occasionally wise people – most often political moderates of any party, but including many conservatives – determine who wins their vote through thoughtful analysis of a wide variety of positions, potential outcomes, and long- and short-range costs and benefits of their decision. It is easy, especially in an emotional state of mind, to be blind to the legitimacy of differences in opinion and to their effectiveness in advancing conservative principles in a country of several hundred million people.
To quote a wiser man than me: “It is better to do good than to feel good” in this world. In a perfect world there would be no question of compromise on principle. In our imperfect world, despite that we'd like to feel good by standing firm on our principles, we occasionally need to think and act differently in the short term in order to accomplish our longer-range goals.
I am not asking for agreement from you, nor am I attempting to change your positions on issues. What I am asking is for you to respect that conservatives who disagree with you are not necessarily RINOs, and most are not any of your other vile characterizations.
I know that my appeal to logic is a long-shot given your emotional state of mind your more recent posts continue to demonstrate.
I wish you good health and a rapid return to logical thinking.
