Compromise

Our friends on the right are always suggesting that we on the left have positions that are two extreme, and that we need to look for solutions and to work with Republicans.  Many people who are conservative leaning democrats feel the same way.  So in that spirit let's look at Kurt Schlichter's latest article in which he reaches out to Democrats with what he presumably believes is good advice.

Here’s an idea that our Democrat politician friends might want to try if they want to stop being back-stabbing garbage people. It’s kind of a radical notion and a little outside the box, but here goes: How about, just once, you stop sucking-up to the foreign bastards who are attacking our country and take America’s side?

Maybe you should not back and excuse the gay-hanging, women-stoning, airline-downing, Obama check-cashing, Israel-threatening, American-murdering cultists ruling Iran. Just a thought.

What great advice - I for one am going to no longer support the Mullahs of Iran.  Of course it's a little hard to stop doing something I never did in the first place, but I'll do my best.

But how do I take America's side?  By, for example, resisting our betrayal of a President, President Trump?  Nope Schlichter makes it clear that taking America's side means supporting President Trump and not questioning the timing of this attack.  Attack on Iran is good; questioning President Trumps wisdom is bad.

Maybe Schlichter isn't a good person to make an alliance with - he really hates Liberals and Democrats.  The only compromise he's really interested in is capitulation and that doesn't work for me I have to admit.
