More discussion on the topic of pragmatism and politics is critical. If conservatives decide to take their marbles and go home rather than fight to the bitter end because they feel their principles have been compromised, they will needlessly subject future generations to untold misery.
Voting for someone who agrees with you 90 percent of the time is far superior to voting for someone who disagrees with you 100 percent of the time. This is exactly what will happen if people refuse to exercise their civic duty and boycott elections because they feel betrayed. Personally, I am not supportive of abortion at all, but I can support people who feel differently if, in the gigantic scheme of things, they can help put an end to the murder of innocent babies. This is especially true of those who are personally inclined to save and protect life.
Perhaps an illustration is in order: Two armies are engaged in a war. Let's call the good army that is trying to defend an entire society the red army and the bad army that is trying to invade and pillage society the blue army. The blue army occupies a superior strategic position and is composed of slightly more troops, putting the red army at a distinct disadvantage. Some in the red army feel that they are right and, therefore, should simply march directly into battle with the blue army because right always wins.
Fortunately, some members of the red army are wise and have a better plan. They send a battalion of troops to the base of the mountain occupied by the blue army to distract them while the vast majority of red troops approach the mountain from the backside. They descend upon the blue army by surprise, completely vanquishing them and winning the war. The decoy red battalion may have sustained some casualties, but in the long run, the war was won, and the entire society was saved.
I hope this illustration is useful in helping some to understand that achieving a critical mass of conservatives and RINOs (Republicans in Name Only, as some call them) in office will ensure that we can get non-activist Supreme Court and federal judges in place who respect the U.S. Constitution. It is essential to achieve a critical mass of individuals in the U.S. House and Senate who can join with a president in upholding the Constitution. These representatives must believe in personal responsibility and creating a business-friendly environment, understand the balance between abundant fossil-fuel development and environmental safety, and yearn to elevate the government-dependent 47 percent rather than make them more dependent. They also must be totally pro-life and believe that the rule of law can undo a host of damaging regulations and restore the value system that made this nation great.
In the long run, with the help of God, we will be in a position to save millions of babies who otherwise would be slaughtered. With this kind of responsible empowerment, energizing a sluggish economy, bringing stability to a leaderless planet and facilitating innovation will not be that difficult. To sit helplessly by and pray for deliverance when the tools to achieve victory are in our hands is not useful. God helps those who help themselves.
Conservatives and those who share their values are the last bastion between freedom and tyranny. If the secular liberals, who are very clever, succeed in dividing us during the next two national elections, America as we know it will be gone. We can stop this, but we must work together. I disagree with those who think it is going to take decades to undo the damage that already has been done. Americans are exceptional and extremely resilient. We cannot allow ourselves to be defined by those who wish to fundamentally change our society.
I am convinced that Americans with common sense will soon regain power. It is essential that we not use the opportunity to exact revenge upon the liberals. Rather, we must govern by the Constitution in a way that is fair for all. It is not reasonable to have favorites and to enforce laws selectively. Most importantly, it is not the place of our government to rule the people; the government must always remember that it is in place to serve the people.
I believe that when people who were being manipulated by the secular liberals, including the media, have an opportunity to see how much better off they are when the proper relationship between the people and the government is restored, they will adopt a different attitude. This will empower them and the entire nation.
Now is the time to rise above partisan politics and recognize the incredible blessings God has bestowed upon our nation. It is time to elevate common sense, decency, honesty and compassion to their proper positions. Rather than simply repeating the words, we must actually achieve "one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

I do have a problem that you actively worked for the bamster's reelection, Breitbart had it right: You've got blood on your hands. You keep pretending that's all right.
It isn't.
It's either stupid or the work of a traitor with no conscience. Breitbart called it correct before it happened, and for you to wriggle out of your lack of smarts is not possible and I'm glad to continue to remind you of it.
I'll keep right on not voting for liberal republican candidates, and working for their defeat.

You're such a troubled human, you really should just give it up. You shame the great state of Texas with your stupidity.
We're speaking of how dumb you were to believe that the worst, most evil, most shameful, most America hating, most pro-death, most pro Marxist, most pro-muzzie, most destructive of our once great military, most willing to sell out America's friends and help her enemies, most anti-freedom, most willing to lie, cheat, steal, and worm his way into destroying everything we all love is the same as....
A RINO squish.
That you believe that lie is unbelievable.
That you were stupid enough to spread it is traitorous.
That you were ignorant enough to spread that bullshit was incredible.
You. Were> Wrong.
The man is vile, he's done more evil since he won again than the worst RINO ever. Yet you continue to proudly be an ass, you continue to proudly be a fool, you continue to show how idiotic you are. You continue to be proud that YOU ACTUALLY WORKED TO REELECT THIS PIECE OF CRAP!!!!
unbelievable.
Breitbart had you pegged perfectly, you've got blood on your hands, you (and the two per cent as dumb as you), indeed are responsible for leaving this evil Marxist in place to destroy this country. Every. Day.
Every. Day. This American hating basturd has been destroying everything you claim to love. You're here 24/7 with nothing else to do, do you not read man? Do you not have a clue what you've done. Do you not see what this man does every day, every single day? My guess is no. No, you don't. You're incapable, because you're nothing but a damn fool with no skin in the game called America, a useless, floating piece of bs on a Texas pond who claims to be some kind of conservative.
And you still proudly look at yourself in the mirror, seeing this "brave principled man" when all you should be seeing is a piece of crap on a stick, one that smells bad, acts bad, and ought to be ashamed of himself for allowing this bunch to destroy America.
Congratulations bub, you earned it.
What you can't change is that I will continue to work to destroy every liberal republican candidate that I can.
And many are joining me.
Expect to lose races until you decide to support conservatives, instead of making excuses for liberals.
/johnny
I see a piece of crap and I call it what it is.
The fact is, you can't answer to what you've done in reelecting this piece of shit, so you just feign hurt. You can't answer to just how wrong you were to allow this destroyer and his minions to stay in office, so you deflect.
Johnny one note, he can dish it out, but he can't take it.
What you are reduced to is personal attacks. I understand your frustration that you can't control people with principle, who won't buy into your warped 'lesser evil' nonsense.
And every day, your world crumbles around you a little more, as the Cochrans lose, and the McDaniels move up.
I love seeing liberals lose. They whine like stuck pigs.
/johnny
I do the same.
But I'm not stupid enough to have worked for the reelection of Barky and tha gang.
That you were is inconceivable. Oh, I'm going to copy and repost this, and yes I'm pissed.
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny.....

You lie like a rug, so easily, yet you can't answer my post as to how you became so stupid.
/johnny
I've told the truth about what you've done and you call it an attack.
And you squeal.
You lie in virtually every post with your innuendos about what I believe and who I am; you lie to yourself about how marvelous you are and when you finally get called out on how stupid you were, you snivel.
That's our Johnny: A one note liar, a pimp for the democrats, a pimp for true evil.
And he calls that being pure........
I remain committed to seeing liberal republicans defeated in the general election.
