“...but I truly believe we have to learn to cooperate to get what most of us want...”
...I don’t believe in cooperating with evil people, Citizen. I believe in opposing it and defeating it...
This is the reductionist crux of the entire issue.
Some people accept evil. Some do not. To cooperate with it it to accept it. Some believe in situational ethics which allows them to cooperate.
But that is not conservative. It just is not. And as Reagan said in his 75 speech, such people should go their own way. Because ultimately, they, and we are not playing on the same team, nor even in the same sport. t
Pale Pastels or bold colors? Was Reagan wrong or the cheshires? A party standing for something or compromise with those we are against? Was Reagan wrong?
This is a simple binary issue that the left had somehow clouded with a lot of psychobabble.
We either stand on principle or compromise. There is exactly nothing grey between the two. Compromise is by nature grey itself.
I won’t cooperate with those trying to destroy my Country, my people, my heritage, my faith, my beliefs, my traditions,... my Nation.
And if moderates want to help in any of that, they can just go declare themselves Dems and seek votes elsewhere.
That’s about as clear and bright a line i can draw.
If the choice is between a RINO or Dem, I will write-in a candidate of my choice.
And that pretty much settles it for me. That is always my option.
