I think I understand your 'strategy' pretty well.
It's called 'victory through compromise'.
Never works in the real world, though.
Evil takes every inch you give it, and never reciprocates. Any ground you want to gain back from it has to be gained through bloody battle.
Yours is the strategy of the naive, at best.
Or, it could be nothing more than a justification for you to pound on folks you resent. I have no doubt that that is the case for at least some on this thread and others like it.

Yes, it does work. It is what effective politicians are best at - diplomacy and strategic compromise. This is politics - not church service.
It is your "strategy" of dogmatism and rudely offending everyone who you even think veers even slightly away from your position that hasn't even been able to get rid of partial birth abortion - which would be easy to outlaw if the fight against it weren't bogged down by the heavy-handed, "no compromise" baggage.
