A History-making Deal? Seriously?

Like many of you, I stayed up watching the news as it followed the exploits of our elected officials and their struggel to avoid a government shutdown. The result? Something that Boehner, Reid and Obama all called historic in cuts. I would have laughed had I not been to completely disgusted. You see, we sent a whole bunch of new people to Congress to do a lot more than that. We wanted Obamacare defunded if it couldn't be repealed altogether. We wanted--for starters--$100 billion in cuts. We wanted NPR, Planned Parenthood and a number of other things defunded. What did we get? Over the course of several continuing resolutions and what is expected next week as a budget is $38 billion in cuts. Planned Parenthood will continue to receive MY tax dollars to murder more innocent babies. Obamacare will continue to move us away from freedom and force us toward socialist health care and rationing. John Boehner actually said there was "no daylight" between himself and the TEA party. Um....got a news flash for ya, there, John. You just opened up a gap big enough to let a supernova through. The Progressives will tell you "governing is the art of compromise". Oh, I suppose in some cases that might be true. But I maintain that there are plenty of instances where it is immoral to compromise. Let me refer you to a little incident involving King Solomon and two women to were arguing over a baby. Solomon offered a "compromise" on that deal, too. Had the women actually agreed to it, do you think it would have been right? Doubtful. No, this deal was not historical. It was a travesty. It was a sellout. It was unprincipled. I think we need to do some more housecleaning in 2012.
