Yeah,MUCH better to give up without a fight,and the blame what happens on the people who actually voted in an effort to halt the loss of our freedoms,right?
@sneakypete Not at all... If it is my fate to spill my blood for liberty, I will do it without regret. But I will pick the hill to die on. And it won't be helping crony corporatists in the Republican party *SPIT*
And y'all didn't vote in an effort to halt the loss of freedom, or you would have picked a principled Conservative. You would literally be standing upon the foundation. Y'all voted to throw poo at the Democrats and the MSM.
Seems to me what you "Principled voters" (roflmao!) want most of all is to duck responsibility so you can claim it wasn't your fault when our system collapses.
No,
without principled Conservatism, there is no stopping our system from collapsing. I mean it more than you do. I will not be swayed by pretty baubles. I will not swoon at celebrity. I will preach on, right till the bitter end.
You will fix NOTHING without throttling the last gasping fiscal air out of this federal behemoth.
You will fix nothing without a mentality toward federalism and the sovereignty of the various states, putting the federal beast back in its proper cage.
You will fix nothing without restoring integrity to our institutions, and piety among the people.
That means you NEED the timeless and immovable principles of fiscal conservatism.
That means you NEED the timeless and immovable principles of civil libertarianism.
That means you NEED the timeless and immovable principles of social conservatism.
You will win nothing without the principles of Conservatism.
And as of right now, y'all have none of them - Not a one.
You are "conscientious objectors" in the war to retain and regain our freedoms.
The hell I am.
Now,being a BIG fan of personal freedoms,I don't personally give a damn if you vote or not.
Likewise.
That does NOT mean I will sit by quietly and not point out your hypocrisy as our system is destroyed and you sit back and smugly claim "It wasn't MY fault. I had several hissy-fits,but it didn't work!"
How very nearsighted of you. The hypocrisy is in y'all = Saying you're conservatives but promoting big federal government and NYC values. Claiming conservatism and spitting upon the very principles that are its veritable definition.
I am standing on the very ground I have always stood upon. I have not moved one bitter inch. And I never, ever will.
Y'all object that I will not compromise and join you in your revelry. I tell you truly, there has been far, far too much compromise already. It's grown-up time.
The person that stands by and does nothing while seeing a tragedy develop and happen HAS to share guilt with the people that purposely set the tragedy in motion.
Bullcrap. If there is a child about to be hit by a bus, and your plan is to blow bubbles at it, you can bet I will be doing something else. This is no different.
