Today, with the so-called filibuster ‘compromise’, a new form of goverment is being ushered in. A form of government characterized by the majority party caving in to the whim of the minority party.
The mighty bowing to the will of the weak.
The many telling the few “We’ve got you outnumbered and surrounded… we’re coming out with our hands up.’
The lion telling the mouse ‘I’ve got an ouchie, you win.’
This hopefully shortlived age when those in the majority will kowtow to those in the minority will no doubt be known as the Age of the American Idiocracy.
One shudders in fear at what will transpire next in the Age of the Idiocrat.
Will Kerry be allowed to use the oval office while Bush fetches him a half-caf double mocha soy latte?
Only time will tell, if the Democrats allow it to that is.

Compromise!
The saints weep and the devil smiles at that word.
There was a compromise reached on the judicial filibusters, with the “maverick” McCain leading the way and the senile Byrd mumbling of a victory for the republic. All he needs is a hood and he’d be Palpatine.
Wait, he has a hood…
Only the wicked and the foolish celebrate a compromise as a victory, for is there any doubt that compromise be the main tool of Satan himself? Can God compromise? Can Jesus compromise? They only know of good, and can never temporarily dabble in evil for the cause of later good. The righteous seek goodness in both their means and their end.
But for the devil, nothing prevents him for allowing good if he can get others to allow a bit of evil with it. Only he could have invented compromise, and doubt not that he uses it daily. “The path of good is hard, so why not accept just a little evil to make it easier?” he whispers in your ear. And gradually, through compromise, he gets his victims to mix some black with their white until they end up with an ever darkening gray.
So know that compromise be an evil word. That’s why it is said that when one strays from the straight and narrow he has “compromised his principles.” And when stuck in evil you be, they say you are in a “compromising position.” When you hear politicians have “compromised,” it should thus make you cringe.
Yes, Satan seeks the extremes of evil, but wily be the tempter. Were he a politician, no doubt he would pose himself as a moderate, slowly moving the “center” until it is all within his evil grasp.
Beware the compromise, my friend. Always signed in blood and smelling of brimstone, they are. Perhaps politically we are all still safe, but, without steadfast courage, such safety is always compromised.
Be honorable, ronin, and never let your honor be the subject of compromise.
