That’s nice, but what are you going to do to see your principles realized? The reality is that Giuliani, or any Republican candidate for that matter, actually has a chance to see the abortion status quo change via judicial appointments. Seeing Hillary elected and her liberal judicial appointments that follow would be a major setback to the pro-life cause. Which would you rather see; a chance at change, or no chance of change? I know what I would take.

=====================================================

You are completely wasting your breath. Principles are not to be rationalized away.
You seem to have no concept of how people with principles operate.

I will live and die on principle. There are things that are worth fighting for, and worth dying over, and worth basing ones life upon. Live free or die, FMCDH etc. etc.

A few posts up you said that social conservatives are acting like children. I beg to differ. Being unmovable on principle even in the face of possible disaster of even death is hardly child like, but is in fact mature adult behavior.

What you are advocating, Christians doing the wrong thing for short term benefit, is exactly like a policy of appeasement.
Appeasing ones enemy accomplishes nothing but emboldens them and the end result is even more of the same.

Taking a hard stand early on and standing on ones principle is the only way to deal with ones enemies.
Even if the short term may hurt, it is well worth it in the long run for those brave enough with a cause worth fighting for.
