These moderates and deal-cutters are not the kind of reclaimable moderates that I approve of. Their brand of moderate deal-making is abject surrender to Obama and the Democrats who are the real immoderates and take no prisoners as they demand, not negotiate. The gridlock in Congress and around the country was largely fueled by their extremist militancy.

It is uncontestable that the purist steak, the unwillingness to abandon and turn aside from core conservative principles, that the socialists, the Marxists and the Establishment Republicans are trashing principled conservatives here about, is a stand of honor and consistency.

Now as a Moderate, I do accept that negotiating in good faith, and the willing to cut deals is the honorable, productive way to legislate.

As a moderate compromising conservative, we can cut deals that leave the individual in charge, the federal government small and operating with balanced budgets, the Constitution obeyed, the EPA much leashed, the Department of Education abolished, the military restored, the borders closed, immigration severely curtailed, and constitutional republicanism operated by citizens in charge as dominant, vocal, engaged individuating supercitizens.

With these moderate and moderating means, what socialists and liberals want for society, within reason, can be allowed, programmed and funded. In this way the conservatives can be moderate and reasonable, while principled and protecting the freedom of the individual citizen.
