Bingo.

What is the tree of evil?

[PISANO]

Muslim extremists like their Democrat brethren have NO RULES, suffer no FOOLS and put ideology above self interests.

Conservatives play by the rules, suffer fools and always put self-interest above ideology.

WARS can not be WON with PC ROE's that ONLY the good guys follow!!

[Bob J]

Okay, how do we fix that?

Poor choice of battles - the enemies of modern conservatism are many, but to strike at their common theme would undo them all. There is a singular fount of evil that too few are attacking directly - most efforts are directed at attacking, in vain, its various hydra-headed manifestations.

Now, everyone is going to give a different answer on what the "root" is. I have my own.

..and a few go out of the park.

Why Do Conservatives Often Lose?

They don't run.

or they think they have to play leftward to win.

Bold conservatism often wins, you just don't see it very often.

Is there anything ALL conservatives can agree on?

You are a French socialist who has been bashing the US capitalist system in every opportunity and telling us how great the utterly failed European socialist system is and how superior it is to our system. Also you have been telling us that the US is going to be defeated militarily in Iraq. Please go and express your lies, your US bashing, your capitalist system bashing, your love to socialism, and your defeatism on DU or KOS where you belong and they will love you there.

If one believes that government has innately sinister qualities, then the tendency is to not get involved lest one become part of the problem.

This naturally cedes control of the government to those who love it -- ie. to "commies at heart" and to commies in fact.

Conservatives only begin to involve ourselves once the government is screwing us somehow. And by then it's too late.

Too bad we can’t get the mob to also strike at the root. What power that would be.

How about we keep the intramural squabbles out of a question about our combined survival?

[Bob J]

Don’t be shy.

“How about we keep the intramural squabbles out of a question about our combined survival?”

Who is “us” and why do you assume Guiliani supporters are in the same school, as it were, as conservatives?

The Republicans lost in 2006 when the democrats run a lot of so called conservatives. They won because they run conservatives candidates or claim to be conservatives in many districts. Anyway the Republicans cannot win forever at some time they are going to lose and election.

I do not share your opinion that we are going to be waxed in 2008. I doubt very much that liberal elitists from the Northeast like Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama are going to win the Presidency. Besides Hillary Clinton is the nastiest, meanest, most arrogant, most fake, most uncharismatic woman to run for President, and that very horrible character, screeching voice, and open eyes looks will destroy her. The majority of voters will not elect a B*** for President.

[Bob J]

We should always win.

Conservatives are not nearly as squeaky as liberals and are way too polite and quiet.

You nailed that in one. We are too nice. We are also the kind of people that mind our own business and have to be provoked before we will make a scene.

Compare that to the liberal drama-types whose whole life ads up to "look at me, LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEEE!

[Chena]

The tree of evil has many roots. In this day and age they would include immoral people, evil people, liberals who condone, sympathize with and nurture evil, Islamic facists, abusers of children, devil worshipers........ All of those lay at the root of all evil.

(not necessarily in any particular order)

[Bob J]

Hmmm, are there things we could do that don’t involve direct confrontation?
