Compromise is overrated

Bi-partisanship sounds wonderful.

"What we need in Washington is cooperation!" Right?

No, not when it means compromising what is good and right. There is a great chasm of difference between cooperation and compromise. Compromising with the Democrats means sacrificing what we know to be good for this country for what we are certain is dangerous, risky and ultimately inherently against our core beliefs.

We teach our children to stand up for what you believe in, even if it's not popular. But we tell those who are entrusted with our safety, our livelihood, the future of our great nature to give in on their beliefs for the sake of bi-partisanship? No thanks. Keep it, better yet...stick it.

I'm sorry but there are issues for which there is NO compromise. Terrorists are bad for our health. We don't want them running loose, we need to capture them, lock them away forever, and help foster a new generation of Middle Eastern citizens which aren't bent on our annihilation. Don't tell me you can't catch them all either. They are not brave or fierce they hide, they are afraid. They need resources, leaders and they need to make others afraid of them. We've been doing a pretty good job being safe and scooping up the terrorists and bopping them on the heads until Commander Cowardice took over. What a disappointment. I wouldn't want him leading a lemonade stand let alone the greatest military the world has ever known.

This stimulus package is no different. We cannot cave in just so they can say "they worked with us." "They compromised." "They wanted a new spirit in Washington."

If Republicans have any hope at all of restoring the confidence of the country in our party they have to get their spunk, shall we say, out of Nancy Pelosi's designer handbag.

I believe that the best ideas will prevail. The problem we have is that our ideas, our beliefs, truth, reason, and common sense have not been communicated. We lost the argument because we could not communicate, not because our ideas were wrong. This is why we cannot compromise. Rather we must communicate our points effectively. If our elected Republicans refuse to do the job and stand up for Conservatism they need a new line of work.

We need to stand firm against every piece of this horrible administration's legislation and take NO part of it. Do not compromise our security. Do not compromise our troops. Do not compromise our economy. Do not compromise our future. Do not compromise with terrorists. Do not compromise with liberals. Just say no to compromise.
