I do think that what we're seeing is the product of decades of brainwashing by the publik skrools, the universities and the MSM. The 9/11 effect wasn't bound to last forever. Liberalism may be in the ascendancy and for two obvious reasons: the ability to hand out favors and guilt. Unless we recapture the culture, any political victories we have are going to be fleeting. Our work begins not at the voting booth but at the foundations of society. If we don't rebuild those, nothing else will matter. If any one has a better idea of how to proceed, I'd like to hear it.

"Liberalism may be in the ascendancy and for two obvious reasons: the ability to hand out favors and guilt."

The fact that we Republicans haven't had a clear, concise, and consistant conservative message for the past 6 years hasn't helped much, either. Our elected reps & leaders have also been way too concerned with handing out favors in the form of perks and earmarks, and seem to have lost their sense of direction. If only Newt didn't have the habit of shooting himself in the foot with such regularity. His comments today remind me much of Churchill when he was the outsider during the mid-Thirties run-up to WWII.
