"Getting it Right"

As for other advice, at least occasionally be sorrowful over the follies of the left instead of scornful.

I took that tactic in the one piece I wrote for the U. Penn conservative alternative paper (I think it was called the Red and Blue, after Penn's colors), when I was in grad school. I was told Bill Kristol though it was the best piece in the opening issue, a compliment I have cherished ever since.

Also, be literate: shame the left with the quality of your prose. Don't talk over the head of your readership, but do assume they are intelligent and moderately well read.

[Roots]

That's almost word for word what I had in mind. We want it to be informative and constructional, a "leading by example" work. I'd agree that it should be all about Republicans and Republican solutions to issues rather than Democrats and their problems. Good ideas y'all.

y'all??
