You can’t win anything if you are dead. I think that we cannot influence policy unless we can win. And there is no way to win on socon issues if as a nation we are being killed at the hands of the statists. I’m here trying to preserve our Republic for my kids and grandkids.
***You honestly think we’re getting killed? You say it twice, as if to emphasize, and there is no hint of sarcasm.
What are YOU doing here?
***Defending conservatism. You’re mad at people who didn’t vote for a guy whom you admit is neither socon nor fiscon. That makes you a good republican, not a conservative. FR is not a republican website, it is a conservative website.
I could not have made the point better. Precisely.
You would rather have an avowed marxist, a red diaper baby, an Islamist sympathizer, a man with no honest affinity for the traditions and the heritage of our nation and its founding principles than a man who, with all his faults, and they are legion, is at least not an anti-American, and with whom we could at least have the possibility of beginning the process of Constitutional restoration. As it is now, we are well into the shiggy. Thanks in large part to otherwise good people who couldn't manage to vote for a Mormon. Talk about making the perfect the enemy of the good!
