” - - - When you’re standing with Van Jones, your position isn’t a conservative one. - - - “

WRONG! This is a false assertion, an extrapolation based on a false assumption.

The rest of the article by Daniel Greenfield makes derivative speculations based on that false assumption.

The term “conservative” as used by Dan is without merit as can be tested by the simple question: If Conservatism is advocated, then what is being advocated to be Conserved?

Thus, by re-reading Mr. Greenfield’s article, the reader will conclude that the author of the Article, Dan Greenfield, was unable to provide a single method to what he proposed to do with his first sentence of his article, to wit: “When you’re standing with Van Jones, your position isn’t a conservative one.”

In summary, this article is an ideal candidate for an award from Harvard’s Crimson Newspaper, but really belongs in File 13.

Correction to my above comment: The first sentence in the article by Dan Greenfield proposed to wit: “ Here’s an easy way to tell when your position isn’t a conservative one. “

Well, Rand is right on this issue, however, he starting to come out weak on the moral issues:

Paul, a first-term Senator from Bowling Green and rumored 2016 Presidential candidate, spoke to more than 500 Cincinnati-area Republicans over the weekend.

Paul said if Republicans hope to rebound from recent electoral disappointments, the GOP must find new ways to reach out to voters who disagree with the party on hot-topic issues such as abortion and gay marriage.

“We’re going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party,” Paul told the audience.

This isn't the first time Paul has spoken out on the need for the GOP to refashion its approach. He was recently quoted as saying Republicans must "evolve and adapt", or else face continued losses on election day.
