Terminal Compromise

During the recent government shutdown the liberal media was all too willing to promote clips of liberal Democrats and moderate Republicans espousing their view that the American people wanted Republicans and Democrats to work together for the good of the country. In other words but without actually saying it, Republicans should cave in and go along with the Democrats. 'The people want the Republicans to Compromise' we were told. Unfortunately, compromise is one of those words that for as long as I can remember has only benefitted the left.

The left loves to scold Conservatives for not ‘listening to the people.’ But the big joke is that when Obamacare was rammed down our throats against the wishes of the American people there was little mention of 'what the people want' and there was no talk of compromise during the writing of that bill, was there? Of course not, because the left does not really care what the people want when it conflicts with what the left wants.

Conservatives too must change their DNA and rid themselves of this burden which only inhibits Conservative principle. Conservatives must remember that it is too often the liberal media that decides what the people want and the media can always be counted on to shape the news to suit their liberal agenda. Conservatives must learn not give a tinkers damn about a phony and manipulated reading of the American people and to only do what is best for America by sticking to Conservative principle. Compromise must be left to marriage councilors and car salesmen and no longer embraced by those who are entrusted with the care and restoration of our Constitution.
