15. That's usually true, but the pubbies have been standing on
principle without pragmatism for almost three decades and they're still going strong. They're the wrong principles, but they're standing on them and denying any of the unintended consequences the rest of us are seeing.

The Democrats, by their disunity on important issues, are giving the impression of standing for pragmatism without principle, something anathema to religious people who believe in moral absolutes.

It is a shame that things are so wildly out of balance, and it's becoming a threat to the survival of this country. Unless the Democrats figure out a way to retake a balance of principle and pragmatism, the pubbies will continue to win on principles.

Yes, on the wrong principles.
