I would never say it’s dead, but merely resting. I find that people choose liberalism when they want to live a better life than they can afford, but become more conservative when the money’s gone.

Any conservative who believes conservatism is dead needs to STFU, climb down off the corpse and GTFO because conservatives who are still living are tired of listening to them aiding the enemy.

“the nation has sunk — or been plunged — into its darkest economic passage since the Great Depression”

There’s people who still think in terms of “since”? The correct placement of that sentences period is after “passage”

What a silly assertion from someone who's entire world consists of the contemporary political scene, apparently.

The core of conservatism is formed by hundreds, in cases thousands of years of human experience.

A false construct like progressivism - a temporary rebellion against normalcy - cannot kill it.

God's law and human nature will re-assert itself.

I've gladly traded the label "Conservative" for "Insurgent".

The seed of conservatism isn’t dead. From a tiny seed grows the giant banyan tree.

Hard economic times?

By the time Clinton took office the recession, a very mild on, was already over and a decent recovery already began. 1993 was only hard because of the idiot policies of Clinton and his far Left flirtations with all things Marxist. The best thing that ever happened to him was Republican opposition and their ability to stop the madness. This followed with a Republican majority and Gingrich forcing him to the right.

Moribund on the national level, but still kicking at the state and local levels.

Could be revived on the national level if we could nominate a candidate with some charisma and discipline, but I don’t see any willing to run.

Conservatism is not dead! Conservatives do not need to fall into that trap - whoa America is in its death throes. Let’s face it Obama plan for a transformed America will fail. Remember another dictator whom promised the 1000 year reign, the rise of a superior race and a united world, 1933 - 1945. What happened to that little weasel?

Obama is just another weasel whom has the desires to have a transformed America to actually how he wants the whole world - bankrupt, chaotic and unending conflicts that further disruption. What do expect from a Community Organizer whom was a failure in that ‘job’ too?

Conservatism won’t die. Liberalism will see to it.
Why? Because they can’t help but to push their
garbage too far. I will admit that I am surprised
that they have been able to get away with as much as
they have so far. But sooner or later that will
change. It may take a war. One thing for sure,
only a fool who believes in the credibility of
The New Republic would believe that FDR’s New Deal
had anything to do with ending the Great Depression
of the 1930s.

As someone who was liberal in his teens but is now in his sixties a raging conservative thanks in large part to people like Tanenhaus, I'd have to say he's as incredibly ignorant of conservatism. He doesn't have a clue. Simply put, Tanenhaus doesn't understand the country he lives in. I've seen the incredible failures of liberalism...it's why I'm a conservative now. Liberalism/leftism does not work.

He's only right in that he has plenty of other ignoramuses/thieves who think life is for taking from what others have produced, and right now they outnumber conservatives. But his idea that conservatism is dead is moronic. As I recall, King Barack only won election by about three percentage points. Hardly a resounding affirmation of liberalism i.e. theft.
