If this was just a regular forum to discuss politics in general, I'd agree with you.

But it's a conservative forum. So I really don't care if Rush Limbaugh himself is coming here to shape public opinion. As long as it advances the conservative cause.

I guess then I need the definition of conservatism. Because I view you differently than Jim Robinson. I view Rush Limbaugh differently than Sean Hannity. I view Phylis Shafly differently Condi Rice. I view Alan Keyes differently than George Bush. Each and everyone of you and the examples is conservative, but to varying degress on various matters depending on the circumstance. And when dust ups occur, is one person more conservative than the other? Does the more conservative position then trumps pragmatism? Does pragmatism trump the higher level of conservatism? Does pragmatism really mean negotiating away your convictions or even caving in? Or does it mean you live to fight another day? It's like the bible. In my middle sized city, there are over 100 different demominations in the yellow pages. Not churches. Demoninations. Each demonimation uses the bible and on many issues the demonimations agree. But there are other issues where there will never be agreement. And on some of those issues, there are varying degreess of disagreement. Now add that within the demoninations individual churches have differences of interpetation. Waht to do during a dust up in those situations?
