Re: Conservatism’s future:
I believe, with all my might, that we should just simply fight the best fight we can and let history be the judge–for we may or may not meet with success in this world. There is honor in this–in going on, even when perhaps one should just accept fate. Did Stephen Hawking ever get his Nobel Prize? No, and probably never will. But he never allowed his limitations stop him from trying. Did Lou Gehrig just slink off and die? No. And neither should we. Think hard of why you want something, be sure it is something that history will not look askance upon–and then die for it, if needs be.
It would be nice if we could get the words out all smooth and orderly, as the article suggests. But it is more important we articulate the logic behind the thoughts, even if we never succeed in making our case to the public.
