Now I can completely agree with you.
Ok, excellent.
I think it's similar to the drastic reductions in government spending that are required to prevent the collapse of our nation. We can sit and bicker for years to come about different spending such as healthcare or military presence in the middle east. Unfortunately, if we fail to agree to make drastic spending cuts, we will watch our nation collapse because we simply can't afford them.
This is why I try to cut through the bickering to the core point. If the actual proponents of freedom can't come to a simple agreement about OC because we're too caught up in the bickering, how will we ever convince anyone else?
The same is true of spending. Maybe the military is in the right place, or maybe Ron Paul is right and we need to GTFO. Unfortunately, policy bickering will only help to ensure we collapse. The only conversation worth having is where and how to cut spending.
Unless we focus on the points where we agree, we have no chance of success.
