Excellent article. Insightfull. Accurate.

How can you change your own values to pander
to young who have been fed liberal lies with their
Pre-K lunches?

Ping for later...

The future of the GOP... if there is one... belongs to the Goldwater-style paleocons and their first-principles approach. If there was any doubt about this, the response to Rand Paul’s filibuster should have laid it to rest.

Trying to be fiscal conservatives in a socially liberal society makes as much sense as trying to sell burnt Korans to Mecca.

The Republican Party has capitalized on populist backlashes to the left's culture war without really understanding them or believing in them.

It doesn't really understand its base or the other side's base and it is thinking in urban liberal terms about the future of a conservative party.

Great article, bookmarking.

This is because the GOPe is all too willing to be taught the wrong lessons by liberals about their losses. To the frustration of us here at the grassroots, the "leaders" learn and relearn the wrong lessons every election, then they wonder why the party is sinking.

Thanks for the ping, expat.

Clarence Thomas, Herman Cain or Ben Carson are not going to fundamentally change that because the problem is not really in the Republican Party. The problem is that the other side has an extensive investment in depicting Republicans as racist and it controls much of the media and academia. Its figureheads also happen to be highly influential in those communities being targeted. The only way to counter that is to build up an actual working presence in these communities, focused on their middle class and their small businesses, finding common cause where it's possible, and doing something to build up rival community leaders. are not going to fundamentally change that because the problem is not really in the Republican Party.

When Michelle Obama was listening to Ben Carson she was enthusiastically clapping at all the right spots... Daniel Greenfield's right on this ... we can do better - and without becoming 'demlite'...

The first action in this battle should be defunding liberal institutions and power bases.
