COMPROMISE

I'm irked (however you spell that word) to say the least....what is becoming more and more obvious is that the "left" wants tolerance and compromise, but yet they aren't willing to do it them-self. The rhetoric is everywhere these days...Republicans are only for the wealthy, Republicans were called the party of "NO" for a while, Christians aren't tolerant and are offensive...yet time and time again what is so obvious is that the "other" side isn't willing to compromise or be tolerant.
Case in point...the stupid negotiations made by both Democrats and Republicans over the tax rate and unemployment. Let's face it, neither side got what they truly want...but there was a compromise between Obama and Republicans. To some extent, I give both sides credit (unfortunately the credit stops there). THEN, the Democrats come out with a bang...they didn't want to compromise tax increases for the "wealthy". They think the wealthy should still give more of their hard earned money to Uncle Sam so our government can get their overspending paws on it. Can you tell I'm frustrated...who's the party of NO now? I truly don't get it...these bozo's want to take money that isn't theirs in the first place from people who earned it, just so they can spread the wealth around. It isn't like Republicans wanted to extend unemployment for ANOTHER YEAR, but they were willing to! That's really going to motivate people to get out and look for a job...no, let's just enable a majority of these people to mooch off of taxpayer money for even longer! (To those who are legit on unemployment, this doesn't apply to you) At the end of the day, it was initially compromise. Not saying it was my ideal situation, but it was both parties coming together to find compromise...congratulations Democrats for being HYPOCRITES!
The next compromise, which isn't a good one...deals with Belmont University. I just heard this for the first time today...but Belmont has compromised on an issue that is crystal clear in the Bible. (Belmont has been considered a Christian college in the past). A lesbian soccer coach got fired there (no one knows the real reason, but assumptions are being made because of her sexuality and her partner getting pregnant). So, everyone is up in arms about the homosexual discrimination garbage again...unfortunately, even some Christians are willing to compromise God's holy word on this issue. This isn't good. God's word is UNCHANGING...His word DOESN'T change with the times. So, at the end of the day...it kind of goes back to the above paragraph. Christians are considered bigots, idiots, intolerant...but that is exactly what the other side of this debate is doing. They believe THEIR opinions are right and are intolerable to us Christians who actually have a foundation for our beliefs that have been set in stone since man-kind was created. Like it or not, our God is predictable...He doesn't compromise and as followers of His, we shouldn't either.
