Would the summary in the closing paragraph suffice?
With all due respect to Ken Mehlman, conservatism in its current form is a pale imitation of what it once was, if conservatism at all. And if today's Republicans truly want to make their mark in service to our founding precepts, they'll reject liberalism-lite and return to the Goldwater standard.

This paper isn't on the excerpt only list insofar as I can tell.

When all is said and done the author is claiming that todays conservatism is a shell of what it once was (Goldwater days).
He says conservatives should give up their "lite" version and return to the Goldwater brand.
My opinion:Author is hoping the conservatives get as rabid as the liberals are now so the libs will stop looking like such drooling morons.

It's a good article, you should read it when you have the chance. Here's a point:
Conservatism is "a vision of the nation and the world as it should be, not a compromise with the world as it is."
I agree with this point, but would say it differently. I think conservatism, today, should be a vision of the Nation as it was , and through hard work, God willing, will be again.
