Damn - you're right. How could I be so stupid? Maybe I should take my connections, skills and $$$ over to the Dems, rather than wasting my time voting GOP, working for GOP candidates, contributing to GOP causes, and being reliably GOP in philosophy. I'm not a real Republican! Wow - thanks for the epiphany!
I for one am glad that you don't....and I have no doubt that you and I could find tons of issues we agree on....probably a majority of issues.
Fine, go. Please. I'd rather have those with "connections, skills, and $$$" supporting true conservatives instead of elitist frauds like you supporting RINOs who are destroying the party and aiding and abetting the Democrats and other socialists in destroying our nation.
As for me, I'd rather fight for the cause of freedom and the preservation of the principles enshrined in our Constitution and lose than to fight for the cause of tyranny, trampling the Constitution in pursuit of more power and win. You see, some of us Christians believe that we will be judged in the life after this one - not upon how many material possessions we obtained, or how big of a house we lived in, or how large our salary was, or how many politicians we have "connections" with because we helped them obtain more power. But instead we will be judged upon our faith and how we applied it. We will be judged upon how we accepted the gifts God gave us and how we shared those gifts with others. God granted us certain inalienable rights - I'm not about to throw mine away, take them away from another, nor stand idly by while those rights are denied to my brothers and sisters.
Call me a kook - throw me to the lions. I don't care. I'd rather be right and lose (if I must) than to be wrong and win.
