The following is a post I wrote on Christopher's blog: http://youngrepublican.townhall.com/
Principles are hills very few of us have the luxury of dying on.
And those who say that winning is not as important as keeping one's principles don't understand that in our form of government, winning is everything...only the winners get to decide if we cut and run...if we protect babies or allow their mother's boyfriends/husbands to decide if the child is "wanted"...if our taxes are raised and our military funding is gutted...winners get to take away our guns and make smokers criminals...winners get to deprive your heirs of the wealth you spent all your life building...they even get to decide if the IOU on your golden years will ever be honored.
Finally winners get to treat our military like baby killers or heroes.
Watch how the Democratic run Congress treated Petraeus and ask the "principled people" if their principles will allow THAT to go on for another 8 years.
Once in awhile I write something I think worth repeating and the above was one of those times. I get so sick of the talk about being "principled"...do they realize that Liberals think they are "principled"...and so do dual spies that betray their country.
I watched a movie the other day about one of America's great betrayers and one reason he gave for "betraying" America was that his "principles"...his belief that America was doing wrong propelled him to risk everything for what he believed in.
And pro-abortionist "believe" that women have a right to kill their babies...and yes, for all those "Constitutionalist", according to the SCOTUS, that "belief" is also backed by the constitution!
"Belief", "Principles", "Choice"...all fine words that have been twisted until they have lost their value.
