I think we can separate men in women in uniform...
I was just trying to point out that a blanket statement like the first one is misleading. We need more true conservatives in government. If a principled conservative dedicates his efforts to getting himself in a position to fix government, we should support him, not berate him.
I'm reminded of the fairy tale where a rich man and a poor man die and arrive at St. Peter's gate at the same time. St. Peter doesn't see the poor man but let's the rich man in and there's a magnificent celebration. Afterwards, St. Peter returns to the gate, sees the poor man, and let's him in. A great celebration is held, but not as great as the one for the rich man. The poor man feels bad that his celebration was not as big and says to St. Peter that he's disappointed that heaven is the same as earth where the best goes to the rich. St. Peter replies that he shouldn't feel bad. They had the big celebration because poor people get into heaven every day, but it's so rare for a rich person.
The poor man is like a conservative soldier. The rich man is like a true conservative politician. We should rejoice at the prospect and not be so close minded as to think there is no such thing.
We need more true conservatives in government.-——Sure. I am not arguing that. We can get true conservatives to serve after they made their bones in the private sector.
