“Sowell, Man” bump
The sad part is the GOP really needs to hear this. They should be teaching it.
It may be too late now, but if the Republican Party was really interested in getting the black vote, there are two things they could do that would make the work easier.
1. Be solidly pro marriage and anti special rights for gays.
2. Be anti amnesty, anti-illegal alien, and pro defended borders.
Whenever I bring these topics up, most black people are 100% for the conservative position, but their argument was always they didn't see any difference between the Republicans and the Democrats for them to change. No matter how cogent the conservative position happens to be, the Rudy McRomneys representing the party are the ones holding the Republicans back.
How much CHOICE does the child yet born get?
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but only if yer mum doesn't want to KILL you!
Steele concludes by rejecting liberalism as patronizing and dishonest in part, and as folly in other parts, since history can never be undone, but, he implies, it can be and it is being played for all it is worth by liberal and race-pimp pols.
Nevertheless, he concludes that conservatism's appeal to minorities will always be weak compared with the appeal of liberalism. (I would go further and say that both pale next to nativism, white-hating racial and ethnic jingoism, and other bleeding-red-meat guilty pleasures of the identity-political Left.)
All conservatism has to offer is intellectual honesty, the discipline of self-reliance and responsibility, and self-respect.
There, fixed the obvious for you .....
Your statement is still screwed up, though -- you misidentify the GOP's problems.
The main problem was in shunning real, identifiable values, refusing to run on values but trying instead to get all tactical and Karl-Rove-y, walking away from the base to suck up to lost-cause voters, refusing to discipline the big spenders, homosexual harassers, walking scandals and sellouts, and making sure the Party would never discipline anyone for anything by putting a hamburger like Denny Hastert in the Speaker's chair and a gay like Ken Mehlman at the head of the RNC.
Remember, Dr. Einstein, if the 'Rat Party is all in bed with NARAL and NOW, then in order to present the voters with a real choice, the GOP has to support the right-to-life of the innocent unborn. Otherwise there IS no choice for the voter! And there is no champion on the field for the right-to-lifers, either.
... something like 85% of Americans believe in some form of “creationism”
load of hooey, although if even remotely true, goes a long way to explaining recent elections.
Sorry Bubba, but it's true. Of course, we can rest assured that the other 15% - the idiots who believe in evolution - leaned heavily for Obama.

So many Zots, so little time :-)
Maybe not but I can, loser.
Creationism has NOTHING to do with the GOP losing voters.
What is “taking away choice”?
Is he referring to the “right” to kill the unborn for convenience?
Seriously, how do you defend that?
perfect illustration of my point, thanks.
Still failing the Turing test, eh?
Of course it doesn't. Most of the people who are evolutionists already vote Democrat as it is.
