13. They only view compromise as a way to change you.
They'll discuss and debate and even be polite, but just when you think you've found some middle ground, you discover that you have moved to the middle and they are still planted where they were to begin with. Then when you complain, they use that as proof that we just can't be reasoned with and as justification for refusing to compromise. Or worse, they look at how we tried to moderate our position and accuse us of "flip-flopping," sound familiar?!

I know all of this first hand thru my experiences with religious and denominational politics, and conservative Republicans operate in the same manner (in fact, its the very same group of idiots!)

You'd have better luck teaching a pig to sing than you would in trying to reason and dialog with that bunch!
