Reply #3: I refuse to EVER compromise my principles! [View All]

Even if it means others must suffer and die for them.

As a well-off, middle-class American, I realize that I won't be forced to toil in a sweat-shop, or die in a foreign desert or from a back-alley abortion... but I'm okay with others suffering those fates as long as I can sit comfortably at my computer and type anonymous screeds equating political compromise to moral decay and weakness.

It's far too comfortable for me in my fairy-tale political dream-world to ever condescend to anything as... dirty... and plebian as compromising my principles for the greater good. There is no greater good outside my home.

Just because the Real World doesn't seem to match my political theories is no reason to abandon them. In fact, reasoned arguments for dealing in real-world politics make me cling to my principles even tighter!

Oh yeah: there is NO difference between Obama and McCain. None! I challenge anyone to explain how weakening the Democratic candidate can possibly matter. The only thing that matters is showing everyone how good I feel about my enlightened principles!!
