It's gotta be, "Here's how you apply conservatism to solve America's problems today."

That is my issue and has been my issue with Newt for a while now. Applying conservative solutions to progressive legislation. Accept the progressive

There is the liberal populace and the conservative populace mashing against each other, and then the Democrat and Republican politicians agreeing with each other. There is a clear distinction between what the populace thinks the priorities should be and what the elected officials think the priorities should be. Right now, the populace does not want to ACCEPT THE PROGRESSIVE PREMISE!

“Accept the progressive” should have been “Accept the progressive premise”

He actually writes to the contrary on page 4 of the book cited here.

Meanwhile, the Republicans have been so lacking in backbone and conviction that they have accepted these myths-but tell themselves that they can manage big government better than Democrats (which really means managing decline and managing failure).

There is a clear distinction between what the populace thinks the priorities should be and what the elected officials think the priorities should be. Right now, the populace does not want to ACCEPT THE PROGRESSIVE PREMISE!

He also points out in the first chapter of his book that "Red White and Blue" America are united on almost every important issue in the country. That the real division is between those 85% and the 15% of leftist elitists, and that the media helps perpetrate the myth that we are a divided country.

Are you saying that we don’t face any problems except those that liberals want to address? That’s what your comment implies; that there aren’t any problems that can be solved using conservative principles.
