Has your approach been working so well that you think it’s appropriate to continue? Which approach are you talking about? And what approach do you think has worked so well for the conservative non-social issues? Seriously, I'm curious to hear your answers.

I’ve been talking all along about the idea of trying to use biblical quotes as ammunition in the battle over social issues. I don’t think it works, is in fact highly counterproductive.

I don’t have the answers, but the first necessity to develop answers is to recognize what the question is.

I do know that the solution has little to do with politics. The mess we’re in today is entirely the consequence of cultural trends from 10 and 15 years ago.

Politics is downstream of culture. Very few conservatives ever really seem to understand what this means, which is that winning elections is in the long run utterly pointless unless you can influence the culture. Elections in the long run will inevitably follow the culture.
