This website stands for combatting liberalism and reversing our century long downhill slide into the pits of socialist hell. It does not stand for helping to elect more Democrats. We're at a crossroads here. For one of the very rare times in our history, the Republicans are holding the White House and the Congress. It's an historic opportunity seeing as how we will probably see some turnover in the Supreme Court in the next decade or so. Why would any conservative in his right mind want take the path that allows the liberals to make those appointments?

First, I would say we're not playing on a level field here. Conservatives have already lost enormous ground over the last 70 years. Merely staying on the defensive keeps us where we are. We need to move to the offensive.

It becomes a matter of judgment and prediction. At what point does working within the system begin to look ineffective. Maybe we all differ solely on our internal attitudes of optimisim or pessimism. I'm beginning to reach the conclusion that working within the system is not working, and I feel that my assessment is right in the broad context of history.

Precisely. When JFK was president, it was possible for a Democrat to appoint a Byron "Whizzer" White who, years later, would prove a fortress of law and morality in opposition to abortion. Those days are long gone. It is hard enough for a Republican president to find a worthy nominee, nominate him or her and obtain ratification. What we need is another ten GOP senators (as conservative as we can get) pronto.

The perfect is the enemy of the good.

Fabianism worked for our enemies as a strategy and it will work for us, too.
