I found myself feeling an affinity with Republicans whose message did not resonate with the majority, but who remained unwilling to compromise their deeply held beliefs. I thought of myself–and of the Pennsylvania Quakers in the colonial legislature, and how their similar unwillingness to compromise priniclples eventually led them to leave government and do their best to apply those principles in private spheres. http://www.pamelascolumn.blogspot.com/2012/11/on-elections-and-being-right.html.

(My first comment on QuakerQuaker, and I don’t think I’ve quite got the hang of the technology yet..)
