We cannot walk alone.

We can invite anyone to join us - but we must continue to walk along the path towards constitutional governance. We must not alter our course just so some dysfunctionals wants to tag along and feel 'included.' Screw that.

We can - and must - treat the dysfunctionals with compassion, not vengeance, but we must make it clear you have to rethink your basic value system and determine that you want to join us. We need to treat them like a good parent treats a teenage son who has gotten himself in trouble. Don't make excuses for them - insist they adhere to basic principles - demand they improve their behavior.

Do not re-route the course.
