Jack Kemp called it "Big tent Conservatism." Now the big tent is often used as a pejorative. I think we need to get back to this. We need to be as inclusive as possible without selling out on small government, low taxes, states rights and strong defense.

I agree with you wholeheartedly.

But first we have to understand that the Big Tent of the 80's is not compatible with the Revival Tent that the GOP has become.
