Where was the ‘compromise’ when obama was first elected and had a democrat House and Senate???
“..I won...”
“Sure, the Republicans can get on the bus... but they gotta get in the back!”
I’m sure many here could add to the list.
No. There is NO compromise with proud Marxists who want to ‘fundamentally CHANGE’ this wonderful country as it was founded.
Compromise is fine when there is nothing to be lost of value; the problem is we are far past the point where compromise leaves our side with anything. Any further compromises are in fact losses, with the end result being something along the lines of atheist Eurotrash socialism or worse...which is what the incremental program of the progressiviks wants and has been getting. New Deal to Great Society to Obamacare....Abolishing sodomy laws to gay marriage to legal child molestation.... The right has hit the point where obstruction and an absolute “no” are the only worthwhile response short of civil war or outright surrender.
There is always room for compromise, AFTER the 1st things, principles, have been satisfied. That is where the line must be, else principles are not principles. Anyone who cannot protect and live by the basic immovable principles of the various conservative factions, should not have the support of any of them.
Here’s the key distinction - if the “compromise” takes you even farther in the wrong direction, just slower, that is NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE. We just can’t afford to do that anymore. If you believe spending has to be cut, you are not compromising if the budget goes up. You are giving in.
The compromises have to start taking things into the direction we want to go, just slower than we’d prefer.
If group A wants to cut the budget, and group B wants to increase it, a compromise would be a budget freeze.
But that is considered radical in elite circles today. Nothing exposes the duplicity of the Republican leadership than this state of affairs.
There is a big difference between compromising with our opponents and negotiating with ourselves.
Compromise is what we do once we’ve nominated the most conservative candidates possible, won back the White House and many Congressional seats, and then are debating pending legislation as necessary with whatever is left of the ‘Rat party.
We do not compromise 14 months prior to election day when we haven’t even chosen our candidates yet.
Compromise has brought the country to the brink of financial collapse.
You cannot compromise well founded principles and expect good to come out of it.
How do you compromise on a law that bans adults from having sex with children?
Do you say “Okay, but only on Wednesday afternoons and only if the child has been weaned.”?
How do you legallly and morally compromise on an absolute principle such as the 2nd ammendment?
Do you accept Obama’s idea that the constitution is just an out of date “rigid idea of what government can and can not do”?
