Response to Krugmark the Magnificent who said capitulation is compromise

I disagree.  Yes, extremism is ruining the nation.  Extreme, anti-scientific  attitudes toward global warming are ruining the very planet we live on.  Extreme attitudes toward gun ownership, profit, and wealth are ruining the country.  Extreme attitudes toward a woman's right to choose, abortion, contraception, and pot smoking are ruining the country.  The extremists on one side are using terrorist tactics (shut-down, debt ceiling, filibuster) to try and get their way when democratic process doesn't work.  I fear that a false compromise will destroy social security and medicare.  That would be capitulation, not moderate compromise.
