Compromise Like the Hindenburg
On the eve of the people getting their power back from the state, we hear about compromise with the losers by the winners:

The word compromise has more than one meaning. It can mean to make concessions on either side of a debate, true. Another meaning of compromise is to weaken something like a ship or state security. When either side of the argument have some common ground than the concession to get to the common ground fits in the first compromise definition. When both sides are incompatible it is the weakening of the whole. Abraham Lincoln understood this when he decried the expansion of slavery to the new states calling the compromise a house divided.
We are facing a similar division of the house. We are stuck between the side of the founding principles of individual liberty and responsibility and the side of state control and the recession of individual liberty. Where state control is, there individual liberty cannot be also. We need compromise with this unconstrained vision of statist leftists like the Hindenburg needed compromise. We need compromise like the Titanic. We need compromise like Pearl Harbor.
These elitist fools in Washington who go out from our states, supposedly representing us, compromising with that which will corrode the whole have got to go. This is not compromise like Madison compromising in the apportionment in the congress and the senate. This is compromise like a breach in the hull, like static electricity on a hydrogen zeppelin, it is compromise like enemy radio silence before an attack on your whole Pacific naval force.
We are through compromising with socialism, because it is not compromise in the first sense. It is really incremental Marxism. It is the devil with his toe in the door. If compromise is needed to get things done, then it should be pure gridlock. If republicans or any other politicians do that they will be Heroes. If not, they will be unemployed.
