Your willingness to induce others to compromise their own values at the polls frightens me, and I don't like being frightened. It used to be "Vote for Hilly, because Hilly knows what you want from your government", and now it's "Don't be a traitor - vote for Hilly, because a vote for Hilly is a vote for the team!" Sorry, but the polls are not the place for playing games. GWB gave the world the "You are for us, or you are against us" attitude (actually stated). This is facism.(January 16, 2016 at 11:22 pm)God of Mr. Hanky Wrote: We will never get what we want by voting for who we cannot trust - compromise is not for the voters.
And that is the problem (my bold). No one wants to compromise anymore. Everyone just wants it their way based on their principles.
Quote: Do you believe in objective values? Is that why you are unable to compromise?
Have you read my other posts? I have ripped more than a few assholes in that idea, and anyway it's non-sequitor to this discussion. It's the people who bow to objective values who compromise their own, anywhere.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
