great analysis. the history of “amnesty” is very clear. but can the lemmings, i mean the GOPe, stop themselves.
no matter what they do, conservatives have some lessons too. we are already unified under God and His principles masterfully laid down in our founding documents.
but we have to work to unify conservatives behind one party, lead by one leader, offering one slate. hint: secularism (apologies for God), coercion, bipartisanship, ignorance, ignorance of principle, appeals to fear, pandering to race, etc. will not work to unify conservatives, although they are the bread and butter of democrat unity.
and another thing. our decision process should not be modelled like the republican primary system which is set up to destroy conservative unity. we could use a separate system that feeds one conservative candidate for each office into the republican primary (or democrat primary if in a conservative district) assuming that there is still no national conservative party by that time.
