“Having the best principles and philosophy is all well and good, but we’re not going to win future elections in this country if we spend all our time talking about the philosophies of Hayek, Burke, and Friedman, while ignoring the day-to-day issues that voters care about.”
Okay..so you’re really beginning to piss me off. Let’s walk through this shall we? Any conservative with an IQ above 100 can apply basic conservative principles and mores to past, current, and future issues and within SECONDS (and I do mean seconds) be able to spit out a viewpoint.
I do it all the time. And every one of my fellow conservatives are capable.
Sooooooooooo, what you really need to say is:
1. Those who can not apply, don’t want to apply, or are unwilling to apply the core conservative principles and mores to issues aren’t…..conservatives. And may be, God forbid, swimming in the shallow end of the gene pool.
2. Let’s CONTINUE to convince those millions of Americans who could care less about politics and our country- to start caring.
Limbaugh, Gingrich, and others articulate VERY WELL every issue under the sun. Quit mollycoddling stupidity. All those Americans who voted for Democrats in 2006 and 2008 want a free lunch.
It’s that simple.
