If you don't get my point, nothing I say will get through so what's the point in trying any more?
Unless you're suggesting that the FC behave like the supposed 3% of 1776, then the point in question is comparing apples to oranges -- wars to legislation.
The FC was, simply speaking, asked to bend too much for their tolerance. Try again, and don't blame them if they tell you to go pound sand again because you're willing to tolerate more infringement upon your freedom than their constituents.
Principle is all very nice, if all you want to do is talk about it. If you're part of a tiny minority that wants to put its principles in action, then unless you plan to win a revolution you're going to have to work within the political system.
Bottom line: if the FC is going to get anything done, they're going to have to work within the system, with the other elected representatives who make up the remainder of the House and Senate. There just aren't very many people in the FC: their strategy is going to have to rely on deal-making and persuasion.
