Sourdough, you and I almost never disagree on anything, but I would like to point out something in regards to standing on ones PRINCIPALS. You said, and I quote: So many people stood on their principles, and let the democrats take over then.
Are you saying that the few that STOOD ON THEIR PRINCIPALS, disrupted the majority that ABANDONED THEIR PRINCIPALS, or perhaps never had any, and that allowed Obama to win? Are you saying that we should ABANDON OUR MORAL PRINCIPALS, and our PATRIOTIC DUTY, and help you elect a scoundrel instead of a PATRIOT?
Well sir, I contend that I personally, based on MY PRINCIPALS, will not tolerate a pit bulldog in my yard, a cat in the house, a thief in the living room, a nasty mouth in the presence of women and children, or an atheist teaching my children. I will also not help elect a sold out SOB, of a politician, just to beat another sold out SOB of another party. I will vote for what is right, and damned be the ones that don't.
So I plead GUILTY AS CHARGED, for voting on my MORAL CHRISTIAN PRINCIPALS, and my denying them, is no more likely than my denying Christ and the Cross.
I would however, suggest that folks that CLAIM to have principals stop abandoning them.
Now let know one here think, that I am angry with Sourdough, or attacking him. I am not, and would like someday to meet him, as I consider him a good guy. I am stating MY CASE. It seems to me that the reason this country is going to hell in a hand basket, is that everyone has learned to settle for less, and less is just what they have. I ain't gonna help ya trade it off boys, your gonna have'ta do it yourselves.
I am not surrendering my principals for anything or anyone. When you trade off your MORAL PRINCIPALS, there ain't much left, your pretty much a shell.
