To understand the left, you need to remember that it does not care about 99 percent of the things it claims to care about.
SultanKnish- There comes a time when every conservative thinker tries to find some common ground with the left in some area. Today it’s criminal rights and the headlines have Rand Paul denouncing the racist justice system while Grover Norquist and the Koch Brothers join with the left to back their reforms. As usually happens, the conservatives or libertarians turn out to be the useful idiots of the left.
Liberals have a long history of being the left’s useful idiots. It’s only fair that libertarians get a turn.
Republicans are still trying to figure out a truce on gay marriage. They retreated to civil unions, then accepted a full defeat on gay marriage and then acted baffled when Christian bakery owners were dragged into court for refusing to participate in gay weddings. When the left insisted that gay marriage was a civil rights issue, they refused to take them as their word.
Now they’re wondering how an accommodation can be made with tranny rights. A brief look back at gay rights will show that the only possible accommodation is one in which men in dresses have a legal right to use the ladies room and every single closed female space and event. And yes, that means your business will be shut down if you object to Steve using the female locker room.
After a few skirmishes, some fundraising and angry letters, the accommodationists will find ways to accommodate that and we can look forward to conservative activists eagerly crowing about the first gay Republican presidential candidate around say, 2024, and the first Republican man in a dress in the Senate around the same time. more
The closest we can come to a truce is a fortified border with those who want to control everything and everybody on one side and the rest of us, who just want to be left the hell alone, on the other.
We have no HOPE, because there’s been no PROGRESS, so I’m putting all my money on CHANGE.
Sounds like a good bet to me.

Obama administration invokes executive privilege on Benghazi probe?

How can you make a “truce” with liars?
If someone wants you dead, and you don’t want to be dead, how do you negotiate? What’s your opening position?
“Truce” is a time to re-organize, re-supply, and re-fortify.
The Republicans think it’s the time when you switch your thumbs from your mouth to your ass – and vice versa.
