See? It is not principled to sponsor legislation you don’t understand. That’s not an error. That’s a corrupt way of thinking all too common in our government.
For decades, we’ve heard this pollyanna argument about picking the lesser of two evils, and where are we? The culture is corrupt. The government steals more liberty each years regardless of who is in power (Bush gave us DHS, another waste of our money and freedom, Obama controls your health). This strategy is a clear failure.
“Compromise” is an interesting word. One definition is that neither side gets what they want and must give up something to reach an agreement in the middle. Well, do this enough and you end up with the second definition of “compromise”. The kind where a vessel or security system is “compromised” and will eventually collapse. And that’s what we have now. Abandon principle once too often and you end up down the tubes.
That lesson is repeated over and over in the Old Testament and echoed in the New. The founders constantly referred to these verses and warned against these dangers. But people don’t want to hear it. You all want to, no have to, believe that one of the parties is really good at the end of the day. The alternative is inconceivable to you because it means you’ve been buying into a lie. Well, that’s the truth. I don’t like it either, but the truth burns.
