Perhaps being a social conservative was always a losing proposition... if we take a look back at the world, post world war II to the present, social conservatives have not had it very good. We only thrive in an atmosphere of consensus; otherwise, we are just trying to stop the social decline caused by our decaying values. It is, however, always worth the fight. And, even marginalized, we obviously have some power when the Rudophilic apologists plead with us to accept this for the good of the party. I think I have to, like the commercial says, "answer to a Higher Authority" than the NR or some Wall Street suits.

Fiscal [non-social] conservatives are Rockerfeller Republicans without the Country Club.

Man are you so right. Even though we have had few successes with the top prize, we have done very good in stopping the agenda on the left to go further than it has. Can you imagine the state of our beloved country had we not stopped anything. That is enough to make you shudder.
