“...America has changed. I agree with you that it’s not for the better, but it’s changed. You want to live in the past, fine...”
RE: Fighting to restore that which was willfully surrendered by poltroons, those who compromise whatever ensures their political survival, is not “living in the past”... It is guarding the gates against barbarians, those whom would deliver America into slavery, so to satiate their vain desire to remain atop the hill... no matter that the edifice is but a heap of dung. Thinking appeasement will save them from the beast, they stand as his passive accomplice, not understanding that in the end the beast will devour them also… when there no longer remain any worthy creatures to defend them, because they delivered all the honorable souls to the unholy holocaust.
“...but don’t make believe that your actions will not contribute to the utter demise of this Country.”
RE: I think you have that quite backwards. Again, each time those whom wave the conservative banner compromise the very ideals they espouse as the core of their existence; each time they surrender to political expediency; each time they prostitute themselves to the pandering consensus of populism... They sear their conscience a little more. They inform the enemy that conservatives are paper tigers, soulless creatures able to be bought, if only to feed on whatever scraps of meat the enemy may toss their way. Worse, they inform those who would take up their cause and befriend them, that such effort is a waste of time, money and fortitude. Cast not your pearls before swine.

The Lesser Evil for the Greater Good
The argument of the moral relativist… Choose one evil over the other because the capacity to do harm is relatively less. And that is just the point: “relative evil” is a false perception of evil, its bounds depending only on the restraint of the practitioner, and the docility of those at the receiving end. The lesser evil still brings harm, and to be sure, no one can know where the line will be drawn, since those whose convictions change with the tide of public opinion are “unstable in all their ways”… Holy Scripture informs us “By their fruits you will know them” … Indeed.
The logic of the relativist, carried to its final course, invokes the following case history in the political realm: Hitler trumps Stalin, because Der Fuher did less harm than Uncle Joe; Kim Jung Ill is better than Pol Pot, because the body count is less under Kim’s reign; Hugo Chavez is superior to Pinochet, since the governing style of the former is less repressive; Jim Jones towers over Saddam Hussein, Jones after all only sent 900 souls to their deaths… and so on. In each case the logic of the relativist informs humanity to choose the lesser of evil because “it is the best” under the circumstances. This line of thought is insanity posing as virtue.
Conservatives have been instructed, by their so-called leaders, that they cannot obtain perfection… the conservative ideal is a bridge too far, a mountain too high, an ocean too wide. Really? So then the Ten Commandments, those essential pillars of true liberty, upon which all just Law is based, and through which all power to rule justly derives its proper authority, they too must fall by the wayside if following them is inconvenient?
I alone am the Lord your God, Thou shalt have no other gods before me… (Among these would be money, creatures, things, pagan philosophies, etc) Thou shalt not take the Lord thy God’s name in vain… (More than profanity or blasphemy… Do not make false oaths) … Thou shalt not worship false idols… (The cult of populism would qualify)… Thou shalt not murder (Abortion, euthanasia, unjust war)… Honor thy Father and Mother (those in proper authority, whom I have placed over you)… Thou shalt not steal… nor bear false witness (lie, distort, omit the truth) nor cheat, nor covet anyone or thing.
What is the basis for our core convictions? Our moral principles are either founded upon something greater than we, or else they are in vain. We either follow the God of Isaac Jacob and Moses… or we follow the gods of this world… and make no mistake… that is what choosing “the lesser of evil” actually entails; but those who practice the deception of relativism do not want you to reflect upon that truth.
