"I would say that unity for a just cause is good for America, and that conservatives value the freedom loving individual... And it's still true.

It's true that there is one area on which conservatives must be unified. Where conservatives must share a "common good," as the socialists put it. That's on valuing and fighting for individual freedom, which we get from limiting the powers of government. IMO, most of the just causes behind which Americans unite, or should unite, are linked pretty closely to this idea. But the unity has to be voluntary, or it isn't real unity.

I’m 600 posts behind and not sure anybody’s referenced this from earlier today yet, but...

You want positive? Check THAT article out. If Fred Thompson gets in the race and keeps talking like that, FRiends, he is going to tap that wellspring of anger and determination that’s been building in the conservative base for years, and then, watch out, because it will be ON.

That is major-league good stuff right there.
