Great. Let’s start by defining conservatism. These days, good luck with that.

The Walter Isaacson biography of Steve Jobs is very good. Jobs was not a very nice man, but he got things done, gave a lot of people jobs, made a lot of people rich, and transformed several business sectors.

His way of doing things worked. But his way of doing things was drastically different from how government operates. Jobs found A Team people, pushed them hard, yelled at them, humiliated them when he felt like it, and was often (not always) just plain insensitive.

Not a nice man. But his approach worked. Unlike the government approach, which encourages C Team people to sit on their ass and wait for the big pension, while rejecting innovation and providing no incentive to produce anything of value.

I thought we were already sending our jobs to China.

The GOP is beyond learning anything. They stand for nothing.

In a two party system (one and a half in the U.S. practice) both parties stand for everything good, and specific ideers go out the window.
