Poll question: How do you want to win?
 No issue in particular, just a general survey on principles and ethics in general and how we incorporate them into what we want to see for our society and the world.

Poll result (9 votes)
I'd rather lose with a clear conscience(2 votes, 22%)
The greater good is what matters most even if exceptions must be made(4 votes, 44%)
If the other side does it, we can do it too(1 votes, 11%)
My principles are the most pragmatic and will prevail of their own accord(0 votes, 0%)
Other(2 votes, 22%)

This explains much.

Better than 3/4s of DUmbasses will use the "win at all costs" modality.

So much for the moral high ground.

The 4th choice is curiously lonely. It seems they do not have confidence in their policies, they simply want to win. IOW: it isn't about doing what is best, it is power for power's sake.

I'm curious about this option:

Milo Yiannopoulos "It has been obvious since 2016 that Trump carries an anointing of some kind. My American friends, are you so blind to reason, and deaf to Heaven? Can he do all this, and cannot get a crown? This man is your King. Coronate him, and watch every devil shriek, and every demon howl."

Communist democrats are all "The ends justify the means."

Unless we recognize this and fight it, we will lose.  Bringing the knife to the gun fight just does not work.

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Me personally: they make idiotic claims like, "Limbaugh wants to silence us and disarm us!" while totally ignoring the context of his references to what they themselves are doing, RE: L'Affair D'Palin.

They only need to claim we started it to give themselves license.

I don't know what hippy-slut (not that that is a bad thing, mind you) had in mind but that's my take.
