You don't have to abandon Classical Liberalism. You want to exist on a philosophical plane, like a writer at National Review free of all the sausage making bullshite, knock yourself out. Others of us have made the decision that we have to get down in the mud with the Leftists while we still have a semblance of our culture remaining. It's the classic Idealist - Pragmatist struggle and I have declared for the pragmatists, considering the vile nature of the organizing Left. Say hi to Bill Kristol and David Frum for me.

I would argue that you are killing your culture, not in an attempt to save it, but as a path to some ridiculous notion of political victory.

Pragmatism doesn't mean you wholly abdandon your priniciples. What you are engaging in is political nuclear war.

YES.
You don't save your country by dying for it, you save your country by making that other poor SOB die for his.
