I’d strongly support such a concept. The biggest enemy of conservatism is a lack of a truly unified voice within the Republican OR Democrat Parties.

The old largely conservative Southern Democrats are still out there, but much like us conservatives in the GOP, their voice is either muted or drowned out by the valueless moderates and and diehard socialist/liberals.

Conservatism needs to that that three-legged stool and unify those legs in to one strong-willed, solidly anchored, and unshakably confident force within BOTH parties. Conservatism should not be merely a Repubican goal, it should be a Democrat goal as well. If we conservatives are going to set our sights on a goal, if we are going to stand tall, lets set our sights on both parties - not just one. I knind of look at this as the Bush Doctrine for domestic policy - we need to be looking at developing policies that have a view of 10 to 20 years down the road - just as many successful companies do...long range planning and working towards specific result-oriented goals is going the be the only way we can return consrvatism as THE dominant force in political and policy development. This is not a immediate fix to our problems, but it is a framework on which a real victory against liberalism can be achieved.

This is the problem: a long term view ( Islamists think in centuries, Marxists in decades) and "a unified voice."

The problem is that for them: Dar-Al Islam ( the international Caliphate) or the Socialist utopia is a religion.

We just want to: work, provide for our families, send our kids to school, retire with dignity and worship according to conscience. We do not have a personal agenda, except perhaps to have the government stay out of our hair.

That simple freedom is one which has to be fought for on the battle field, and as much, one that has to be fought for, politically, simply to maintain what we have and pass its privileges on to the next generation.
