Yes, of course. I find nothing to disagree about in your last post. But observe: compromise is inherent to politics. It is poison to culture. This is why, in my analysis, our chances are best not in a big tent where secularist pragmatists will dominate, but as a small ideological party lead by people with clear Christian convictions. You preserve a culture by keeping it pure.
While you are off creating your chimerical dream party, the Party of Satan has locked in misery, destruction, economic decline, almost-guaranteed default of the United States, uncontrolled deficits, more crony capitalism, military weakness, foreign policy failure, and persecution of Christians for at least a generation to come.
I'd have been happy to have been stuck with the imperfect candidate that might have reversed Obamacare, would have reversed all the energy-independence killing regulations and decisions (did you see the anti-Christ put ANOTHER 1.6 million acres of prime shale oil federal lands off-limits?), would have reduced other burdensome regulations, would not have threatened Second Amendment rights (did you see the anti-Christ wants new gun bans?), would have fought for lower taxes with lower deductibility, resulting in better economic performance, would have reduced federal spending from nearly 24% of GDP to 20% of GDP, would have reversed the Mexico City policy of the anti-Christ, would have defunded Planned Parenthood, would not have nominated orthodox, doctrinaire liberals to the Supreme Court, would not have persecuted the Catholic Church with the HHS mandate.
I know it doesn't quite immanentize the eschaton, but I'd have happily settled!
You admit that politics is about compromise, and your cure is to create a “pure” political party. LOL! The form your party takes is a form of idolatry, the reduction of Christian philosophy and culture to ideology. You, at once, want to distort and destroy Christianity by identifying it with a political party and ideology, while castrating Christians politically by herding them all into one stupid, feckless, immoral permanent party.
Your “solutions” are not only infinitely worse than electing Mitt Romney, as well as deeply intrinsically evil, they're actually possibly even worse than the election of the anti-Christ.
