A Line in the Sand

     Conservatives as a group will have to work out at some point where we draw the line. Evil will continue to grow here in the US, so there will always be a greater evil leering across the aisle at us. We must draw a line in the sand somewhere and say "This is where I stand. I will not compromise beyond this point." If we do not we will always be left fighting a rearguard action in every election, not to gain ground, but to lose a little less ground. We will be always fighting, never advancing, always retreating. An attempt to compromise to the forces of evil, to sacrifice some principles in order to preserve others, will always take you farther than you want to go. We will lose our liberties piece by piece, not because they were ripped from us by the obvious enemies of freedom in our country, but because they were cajoled from us by the self-described defenders of freedom. If we take a stand here and now and refuse to back down conservatism may "die with its boots on" at the hands of unabashed evil, but if we continue to retreat in every election it will most certainly die in bed eventually from the lingering symptoms of compromise and lack of guiding moral principles.

     If conservatives support Mitt Romney, a candidate who has pushed same-sex marriage, abortion, higher taxes, and almost everything else conservatives oppose, they will have shown that they cannot draw such a line. We can draw a line in the sand by supporting a candidate who believes as we do and takes action in accordance with his beliefs. Tom Hoefling is such a candidate.

For a new birth of freedom!
