As one who has devoted most of his adult life to the conservative cause,
it saddens me to recognize this. Yet we can't begin to recover unless we
acknowledge the problem. We hope when our book comes out you will help
to start a debate over some of the ideas we advance.
Only by that means will we be able to begin to recover. It remains to be
seen if conservatives again can seize the moral high ground and frame
the issues so that conservatives will have the initiative in my
lifetime.
