This admin as made it clear on things like healthcare in which any "compromise" has turned out to be slight of hand and a magic trick designed to fool whoever was in the admin way. Ask the Catholic Church and Stupak about "compromise" with this president. We have gained ground slightly in the past thirty years (mostly in the state legislatures).....it was hard fought for and I am not willing to cede one inch of ground to this administration.Liberty wrote: Things like Budgets and even heath care are built on compromise. Other things maybe not so much. Our recent victory with Federal parks Carry was because of "compromise". I personally don't believe these new issues require any compromise. We've hit back pretty hard and the Obamian forces are starting to show retreat, while we seem to be moving forward in our cause, and there are signs that the public is seeing things "our way" even though some on our side seem more than willing to throw the Obamian dogs a bone. It shouldn't be necessary, at least legislatively.
There is often a claim that we are losing ground. Over the last 15-20 years we have gained ground, not lost ground. We have gained ground only because we have allowed compromise. Texas gun laws are a wonderful example of this forward progress built on compromise. I do agree that we shouldn't have to give up any of our rights. But to condemn compromise is to condemn progress of our side.
Edit to clarify case RaL
Here is a compromise on gun control. The Feds stop shipping guns to al-queada and the Mexican drug cartels, and agree to put that money into school security guards and mental health programs.
