We have no candidate and no philosophy in the GOP.

I've started reading Ayn Rand's "Return of the Primitive: The Anti-Industrial Revolution"...40 years ago, she nails the problems with the Republicans.

That's great stuff you are reading and we all need to arrive at the same destination to begin to rebuild our movement. Quite often reading the old conservative classics is a way to see how far we've come toward statism, socialism, and dystopia. I am amazed at the wisdom of the old books

Conservatism is at it's best in times of crisis. We're the political religion of wars and balanced budgets. The great Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush rallied the country. But like it or not and fair or not, we are being blamed for what is wrong right now, and no amount of positive thinking can change that at the moment.
