My point was that patient, polite & persistent efforts have gotten conservatives nowhere over many decades except further and further left.

I'm inclined to run out patience before I run out of life.

I also, don't think politeness is a benefit when the other side is extremely rude, and;

I'll choose resistance over persistence, since the later is playing right into the beltway elitists hands.

We have went from a common cold to bronchitis to pneumonia and today our freedoms lie in dire straits clinging to life.

It's time to throw the bums out, not try to work with them any longer.

Nothing at my web site suggests polite patience with respect to those actively engaged in trying to undermine our Constitution or take away our liberty. The approach is suggested for a case such as Governor Romney, who is actively seeking our support with a promise of smaller, less intrusive, Government. The intention is to get him to look at various other issues with the same analytic methodology that he uses as a financial problem solver.

While many Conservatives, themselves, miss the point; the same human dynamics which make the free market the ultimate engine for economic growth, support the maximizing of individual responsibility & minimizing of government across a wide spectrum of human interaction. (For an obvious example, consider why Switzerland has a far lower crime rate than Socialized--disarmed--Britain. Or consider how much better Church administered Welfare worked in Jefferson's Virginia, than what we have in America, today.)
