A Bill Maher Tribute - the new rule for the day.

In honor of Bill Maher's return, a new rule. New rule, people.
No more cherrypicking political stances. If you are against something on principle, you are against all the permutations, instances, and extrapolations thereof.
So, if you are pro-life, you must also be anti-death penalty, and anti-war. All three kill people. You can't go around saying that this one's a menace to society, or those people need to be killed in order to protect ourselves, but abortion is just about the non-mother-to-be's convenience. It's all about convenience. We kill that serial killer so that we can save a little money on guard salaries and a lifetime supply of prison chow. We kill those terrorists so that we can go out to dinner without paying for a bomb-sniffing dog and carrying small arms in her purse.
If you're against death, you're against all death. Period.
Another example. If you're against government spending, you're against all government spending, not just the purchases you don't believe in. Whether it's education or the military, it must all be cut back. That's because every bit of spending is important to somebody. Even bridges in Alaska have their proponents. Somebody's going to drive on that bridge, someday.
Nope. If you want cutbacks, everything loses the fat.
Last example for now. If you are against terrorists, terror states, and those who aid terrorists, then you are against all of them - not just the ones you aren't doing business with this week.
You aren't allowed to invade a country because its leader might have helped some terrorists once, and justify it at least once a week, then turn around and give a different group that might have helped the same terrorists once, a job running the country's ports.
It's poor reasoning, and we aren't going to tolerate it anymore. Saddam used to be our friend, too, remember. It's time for people to put their money where their principles are. No compromising with terror means that if you help a terrorist, you don't get a plum US government contract. No matter who you know.
