The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
There is serious error in that logic. If you don’t consider Romney to be your “enemy” as well, then you are horribly deceived.
There is no “enemy of enemy” or “lesser of two evils” here. We have two enemies and two evils. It is a great tradegy.
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
*********************************************
I’m with you but only in a modified sense.
I’m a firm believer that when one is in a perilous situation a person needs to take whatever step or steps is necessary to end the peril. If anyone thinks our country is not currently facing a situation where our country and Republic may be taken down a path from which our Republic and liberties may NEVER be restored they are not recognizing the realities of where we are. I DO RECOGNIZE THESE PERILS.
So I’m with you so long as your quote is (as I believe it is) a “boiled down” (for purposes of brevity) version of something such as:
1. If I’m facing multiple enemies and only one of those enemies is in a position of being on the verge of PERMANENTLY defeating me and proceeding to destroy my life and/or liberty FOREVER, I will consider that enemy to be my current PRIMARY enemy.
2. If I have a SECONDARY (and far less dangerous) enemy that is waging war on my PRIMARY enemy I will not take actions (against that SECONDARY enemy) that will allow my PRIMARY enemy to prevail and then be positioned to move on to MY destruction.
3. Once that PRIMARY and most dangerous enemy has been defeated (or been so weakened as to no longer pose a significant danger to me), then it will be time to deal with the lesser enemy(-ies).
So my family and I will be voting for Romney this year to add to his national vote total. We live in Maryland so we know these votes will not help Romney get any of Maryland’s electoral votes. We’ll also be voting Republican down ballot and may have some (very) limited success there. Where we really hope to have success in on three referenda (to “veto” the Maryland “gay marriage” law, the Maryland “Dream Act” and the crazy gerrymandering that the Democrats did this year in the state) that we worked hard to help get on this November’s ballot.
I’ll be voting by absentee ballot since I plan to be out of state (in Pennsylvania) supporting the effort to minimize Democrat Vote Fraud in that state. And until then I’ll continue doing everything I can to help true conservatives win places on the ballot. And you all know we’ve been having successes on that front.
Anyone on this forum has the right to focus their energy on prolonged jihad against the presumed Republican presidential nominee. But as for me, I’ll continue to try to do things that will have a positive outcome for true conservative objectives.
This isn’t for immediate action, but long-term we could help ourselves if we could somehow have the delegates to the 2016 Republican convention selected using a “majority or run-off” approach—similar to the Texas & North Carolina 2012 primaries. Now THAT would certainly be a very good thing for we believers in a Constitutional Republic. But I’m sure that many here may wish to instead form circular firing squads. I’ll not participate in such defeatist actions.
