Where's that Christian forgiveness?
I do not recall 'forgiveness' being asked for.
Sorry, but I am weary of those still fighting and holding grudges over the Primaries. It has become old to me.
This is about a whole lot more than the primaries. This is about the discarding of fundamental and foundational principles for expedience, pragmatism and because a majority see politics as a sporting event, rather than what safeguards liberty.
I realize our "principles" are under siege, but that is not the fault of those that do not agree with us.
No, it's the fault of those who easily surrender them and demand others do so 'to win'. It's because the people are no longer governed by principles and will willingly trade fundamental liberty for the promises of safety, security, prosperity and provision.
I agree with @Right_in_Virginia that a small minority cannot ram their set of principles down the rest of the country's throats however much we may wish it to be so.
Funny that a minority of Hedonists and Marxists can shove their principles down everyones throats, but comes the principles of the bible with Constitutionalism and limited government - why then that minority cannot even so much as stand on those principles when surrendering them for the greater good is demanded as a necessity.
It's our very principles that turn off so many voters and that number is growing.
Welcome to your fate. The Founders warned you that only a religious and moral people were capable of maintaining the Constitution and liberty. They told us that when a nation becomes corrupt and as vicious as our has - that we will have more need of subjugation. Telling us to shut up about our principles because the majority does not like them and you would rather some crumbs of freedom from the Table of your Masters than owning liberty
I guess I'm too willing to take what crumbs I can get and push for more after we get our foot in the door.
Conservatives have bought that attempt that for decades. At what point do you admit you are practicing insanity?
Digging my feet in the ground and refusing to budge if I don't get everything my way is self-defeating imo.
A people and nation that have discarded foundational principles for pragmatic politics has already defeated itself. What transpires next is the tyranny of men that insist you must capitulate all for the good of the state and the nation to the passions and desires that govern the most unscrupulous aspects of human nature.
At least you are finally being honest. It's all about the "Told ya so!"
You wouldn't listen to admonition, reason or exposition. Our principles it was said are "an enemy of the good". So you get to eat what you said you wanted, to harvest that which you have sown - and eat it to the full you will.
I have no intention of helping you out of the disaster you have sown for yourselves. You wouldn't listen when you were being pleaded with - instead we discovered just how much you people hate those who refused to go along with you.
So lets joke, poke fun, and align ourselves with the Democrats out of spite.
And that is what you people have always done: insist that if we are not with you in lockstep, then we are with the enemy.
Fine, then. You made us the enemy and insisted this was so, insisted this was out of spite. Okay then - I'll agree.
Now what? Do you really think we're going to aid you in the disaster you have chosen for yourselves? Would you prefer to go all Jihad on us as your compatriot suggested this morning?
As for Trump threatening to primary the Conservatives...I will be right there with you screaming to the rafters if he does something of the sort.
Anytime someone issues threats, I take them at their word. I'm not waiting to find out if they are sincere or not.
I do not care to carry on this argument with you further. I don't agree with your idea of principles and do not intend to waste my breath further.
Then stop demanding our support, our help or demanding we shut up about your chosen leader unless it's praise. If you want an echo chamber, TOS should be back up soon.
