Jim,
It’s been a very good discussion with good points made on all sides. I don’t disagree at all with the points made about restoring values. I appreciate all the passion on that side of the issue. We need that passion, we really do.
But for some reason I can’t escape my prediliction towards strategy. I can’t shake the feeling that we have to be smart about how we prioritize issues if we are going to WIN. We lost with Obama where it really hurts ... he got to appoint a SC Justice who is extremely socially liberal, and he is likely to get another appointment before his term is over.
This pretty much puts final nails in our social issues, judicially speaking. I feel like we are spinning our wheels and not making progress on abortion for example (I am passionate about Life as you are), even as we are holding fast to the pro-Life values.
I wish I could believe that just being right and passionate about these issues is enough to change things. I’ve really tried to believe that but just can’t get there.
Anyway, thanks for allowing this discussion. I think we are on the same side, just with different ideas on strategy.
One more try: If you continue trolling FR with this RINO surrenderism, you’ll get the zot. FR is NOT a liberal debating society.

Then there could be somewhere else that you can’t get to:
Mat 10:33
“But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.”
