An afterthought to my earlier post
Here’s my most candid admission: I don’t care if Constitutionalists / classical liberals / fiscal conservatives lose the next 10 elections — provided they stick to their principles. The media and the reality on the ground can only fool the electorate for so long — and a break in the action where conservatives are out of power takes away the left’s ability to lay blame at the feet of the right for every ill it creates and perpetuates. The GOP establishment has been playing that game too long: they are depicted as far right extremists — and take the heat for being so — when in fact they are more of the same, statists / big government adepts who happen to be a bit more prudish (and less concerned with current trends in hair styling). It serves our long-term interests as a country to make the choice very clear between the competing ideologies. We have the Constitution and the ideas this country was founded upon on our side. The left has nothing but promises countered by a world history littered with failed states, poverty, tyranny, and violence to point to as the end game of their “Utopiaâ€. Own who you are. And make them own who they are.
