I hope that as we conservatives traverse these very difficult roads, we will always remember who the political enemy is. Our internecine fighting of late has given President Obama a bit of needed cover for his primary culpability in our nation's budget crisis.
Conservatives seem to be evenly divided on whether or not to support House Speaker John Boehner's budgetary plan to avoid a debt ceiling impasse. But the level of vitriol back and forth is increasing, with one side calling the other "crazy" and the other shouting back "RINOs," or Republicans in name only.
I believe both sides are acting honorably; they mostly agree on goals and disagree on tactics. But it's a bit more complicated than that. They also differ somewhat in their operating assumptions.
I'm glad he gets it that republicans are not enemies within their party. Now if he could only understand that democrats are not the enemy either; they are the opposition. That's why nothing gets done. When did we start demonizing anyone who disagrees with our own political beliefs? It's okay to have different opinions, and we can disagree without being enemies.
