I noticed that as you "deconstructed" the article you spoke volubly about its (and the Conservatives) lack of something you term "fresh and new...strategic vision." For the sake of discussion, why don't you share with us your "new and fresh" "strategic vision"? It would seem you have something by way of 'strategy' to offer but for some strange reason have not shared it with us.

I do. One reason why I refrain from discussing my ideas about politics these days isn't so strange: I think conservatives are in denial. Things can't change and won't change until there's acknowledgement that there's a problem.
We'll see what happens this next election. Perhaps it will serve as a wake-up call to conservatives. But I doubt it.
For me to espouse ideas where they're not welcome is a waste of my time. Worse, my doing so just tends to get people agitated. I see no reason for it. Unfortunately, from time to time I forget that people don't really want to solve problems. They want to blame a convenient bogeyman and have others congratulate them on their analytical prowess.
I was pinged in on a morals pinglist and I made my point. In retrospect, I should have refrained and I didn't. My bad.
Time to go back to the religious threads. Thanks for the ping.
