Because,,, compromise,, has led historically, to greater compromise, and eventually to a place where the majority of people never agreed to go........compromise, is not what is happening,,, one side is taking advantage of the others willingness to discuss and their "compromise" has lead to aggression on the left....

Ie: the firing of the mozilla CEO....the leftists, who tout free speech,,, attacked when they had the power,,, and became what they claimed they hated and were fighting against....

That is what happens, when you know good and well, that what is in your heart, and what you INTEND to do, is not what you agree to,,, and that is the tactic of the left,,, now, I am not interested in "how fair" you think the swing of the pendulum is.

By all means have opinions about everything. For instance if you say cats are better pets, and I say no dogs are better, we would be both right, because there is no right or wrong answer to that opinion. On the other hand you say some people have a right to play the "Knockout game" because their great grandfathers were slaves, and I say" no that is attempted murder and they should be put in jail " there should be no debate that the crime is attempted murder. However the activists will consider the Knockout game justified, for past wrongs. That's where moral relativism comes in, not whether you prefer tea and I prefer coffee.
By the way, I believe that most politicians are manipulating self serving piles of human excrement, but you are welcome to have another opinion and that is just fine.

You are always stating that you are being attacked and lied to by the left. You also see the Right as sitting back and accepting all. Pretty weak group of people if you're correctl.

I feel for you because you have insulated yourself so that you are unable to see that compromising is the only way to advance this country within itself.

Congress has done exactly what they said they would do in this administration - NOTHING -- that is excpet for attempting to get rid of the ACA forty-something times (and they failed at that).

I was under the impression that our "representatives" were supposed to Represent their constituencies. At any rate, their job is to "help" improve on this country. If they're not doing that, they're getting paid for NOTHING. This is what you complain over about those who don't have jobs. Congressmen are collecting a salary and not doing their jobs. How long do you think the could get away with that in private industry? Think about it.

Per the dictionary definition, expressions emanating a fact would not be an idea.

All those who say liberals are idiots, are correct. All those who say conservatives are stupid, are correct. Those who say Republicans are corrupt are correct, as are those who claim the Democrats are as well. Whatever the claim about whatever issue, ideology, cause, person, group or concept, are always correct. No one is ever wrong.

All ideas are based on some theory or assumption. We used to experiment, discuss and try to DISPROVE such ideas, before accepting them as fact. We are no longer required to do so. Every idea must be accepted as correct immediately. Discussion of the merits or demerits of an idea or concept are no longer required. Now, we only have to defend it, by attacking everyone else.

Now that we know that everyone is correct, no one can be wrong, which leaves us with no recourse for finding common ground. With 300,000,000 million people, all who have some ideas, all of which are correct, and few are in common with anyone else, we have - chaos. For people, with differing views, to come to a consensus - someone is going to have to be wrong, at least a little bit. To compromise means to admit wrongness and that cannot be allowed. Admitting that some idea, or portion thereof, is wrong, is to admit total defeat. Agreeing with someone else, for the sake of "common purpose", is to surrender to a superior idea, making you wrong.

It does not seem to occur to anyone - to change their minds about something - because that would require admitting that they were wrong to begin with. Todays society will not allow anyone to be wrong. Oh, the OTHER person is always wrong, to be sure, but WE are never wrong. Admitting that WE are wrong, about anything - means the other person wins and that cannot be allowed. We never lose, unless it's a war then we ALWAYS lose, but we were correct the whole time.

What are you talking about??

I dont beleive you "feel" for anyone, if you deny that the left is pushing a very aggressive platform, that is recently become "aimed" at the religious right,, who DO not retaliate, in any way like the left does, through Occupy movements, riots, etc.

But you are rationalizing when you claim that isnt happening, as well as that the "right" and the "religious" are learning from the left, "what it takes" to be taken serious in politics and/or "compromise" as you call it.

For the left, it is clear, that compromise, is doing what they want and to hell with anyone elses opinion. Like I said, when the pendulum swings, I will turn a deafened ear, to your complaints, and it always turns.

You get what you give, and you and the left have, "radicalized" in your approach to politics, do you really think the other side is just going to sit back and watch, saying nothing?
