I answered him in 56. I dunno, I kinda liked it.

A party more conservative across the board that can win elections.

The usual litany of culture war types like myself.

Borders, Language, Culture, Gun Rights, No Abortion, Serious Tort Reform, Tax Reform made permanent, some local customs and mores laws left to States.

Absolutely no Race or Ethinicity based preferences or laws or legislation.

Religion viewed thru establishment lenses rather than "the wall".

I only have a few beefs with foreign policy except how it relates to immigration and the Balkans.

I could go on and on but it would take a book.

Something between Neo and Paleo with a Southern twist..

Alas...the Dems are what they are...they have a lock on around 35-40% of the popylation and demographically that is growing the fastest.

I'm not optimistic. That puts me at odds with W, Rove and Robinson.

I think Conservatism has been watered down byt it's success.

But...a major but too.....what we have sure beats the alternative of a Left victory which is complete capitulation rather than incremental.

It’s quite simple actually, the best possible metaphor is water trickling down a hill, the water will go where there is the least resistance.

I find that sentence to be the most profound statement defining conservatism that I have ever read. Kudos to you my friend, you are infinitely wise beyond your ears..........

The reason that I’m a republican is because the democrats just “don’t see”
