One Side Will Lose - Compromise is No Longer Possible
2019-08-26
[Robert Ringer.com] In my recent interview with the ever-prescient David Webb, I asked him if he believed the Democratic Party would ultimately destroy itself with its own hatred, to which he responded, "Either the Radical Left has to lose or America has to lose." Simple, profound, and true. The struggle between anti-American and pro-American forces long ago passed the point of compromise.

There are two reasons why compromise is no longer possible. First, when the Radical Left talks about compromise, they are not envisioning meeting in the true middle with conservatives. Their idea of compromising on a system of government is to meet in the middle between communism and socialism. Kind of like death by shooting or death by hanging.

The other reason compromise is not possible is because you cannot compromise between good and evil. You cannot compromise between moral and immoral. You cannot compromise between civil and uncivil. Thus, to compromise with progressives is to compromise with evil, immoral, uncivilized people. Not a good idea.

I was saying it decades ago, and I’m more certain about it today than ever before: Sane, civilized people of goodwill are in a struggle to the death with insane, uncivilized people whose goal is to enslave or destroy those who believe in the principles of liberty and non-aggression. So, yes, David Webb is correct. The Radical Left must lose if America is to survive.

Notwithstanding all he has accomplished, even President Trump does not truly understand what is at play here. Take his latest self-destructive interaction with Dirty Dem mouthpiece George Stephanopoulos. The question is not whether Trump said anything morally or legally wrong. Obviously, he did not.

The real question is, why would he agree to be interviewed by a left-wing cheerleader like Stephanopoulos in the first place? Is it simply because he enjoys sparring with the enemy? C’mon, Donald, this is not a game. This is war. The objective is to destroy the enemy, not give him an opportunity to trick you into looking bad.

The second question is, why in the world was George Stephanopoulos even allowed into the Oval Office? What was Trump thinking when he bought into such a perversity? This is not a game. This is war. The objective is to destroy the enemy, not give him an opportunity to defecate on Bill Clinton’s playground.

#8  A British financial journalist asked Kissinger his opinion of Trump. Dr. K paused and then said, semi-cryptically - you can imagine the idea taking guttural shape in his glottal cavity before he intoned it in Strangelovean bass - "Trump is exposing the pretenses of the liberal international order."

Translation: T is exposing the hollowness, the shallowness, the cynicism and the BS behind the globalists' self-serving and disastrous policies and their smug and self-regarding rhetoric.

Damn long time coming.

#7  At one time, the INC (Indian National Congress) was so mighty and unassailable, it was as if India were a uni-party democracy. They had groomed the media, made the citizens believe in their shit for half a century.

What hastened their demise was the arrival of fresh 'young talent' in their ranks, fearless anti-establishment types without brains or tact. And their over-appeasement of 'historically underprivileged' minorities. Soon, there was dissension in the ranks, gaffes from a mostly senile old guard and embarrassing graft stinking to high heaven. Some of that ring a bell ?

I'm just saying, all it takes is pride, and the momentum accrued by the incompetence snowball a complacent administration ignores the first few times. I believe the times of the American DNC are coming to an end. In the coming years they shall become a joke, their voices suppressed by disdain. And the world will see that conservatives were the actual progressives, and democrat 'liberals' were just autocratic buffoons.

#6  Yeah, what tw said in #3. I'd be reluctant to second guess Trump on anything to do with playing the media.

#5  #4 One must always have an olive branch in one hand, and a sledge hammer in the other. Trump did the right thing.

Trump has always carried an olive branch in one hand. But he still has tactical nukes and space based weapons in his other hand so he's got that going for him.

#3  Appearing in an interview with Mr. Stephanopoulos allowed him to be seen by an audience that mostly has been exposed only to the straw man created by the hateful left. Even manipulated he won’t be nearly as bad as been painted, anyone who believes in the ideals of liberalism will start questioning. All President Trump needs to win is for people to stay home, not to come all the way over to voting for him.

#2  The extreme hard left will never stop. Unless they are liquidated...

#1  The one thing that Trump by his existence where he is today is forcing the masks to drop and reveal people for who they really are. And, yes, in the end there can be only one.
