I don't suggest we conciliate. I suggest that when our tactics are ineffective or counterproductive, we try something different.

As Vinegar Joe Stillwell said after being ejected by the Japs from Burma, ""I claim we got a hell of a beating. We got run out of Burma and it is humiliating as hell. I think we ought to find out what caused it, go back and retake it."

Note the "find out what caused it" phase. Stillwell didn't propose more of the same, fighting the same way to produce the same result simply out of a refusal to submit.

Fighting to the last man may be noble and brave, but it won't win the war. I propose we figure out why we're losing the battles, develop new strategies and tactics and counter-attack.

I recommend we stop implementing Einstein's purported definition of insanity, trying the same things over and over and expecting different results.

I don’t think there is any alternative. If we don’t rely on the Bible for our truth, there is no reason anyone else is wrong.

On that I totally agree. The tactic that isn't working is trying to be PC and make the left like us. We have learned that Dole, McCain, Romney is a losing strategy. Too conciliatory. Conservative values are a winning strategy that haven't been given a full effort since Reagan. The country is more right of center than left on social issues despite the protestations of the MSM.
