David, It all sounds great but please tell me how do we come back from another 4 trillion or so in debt and a population that would never allow any major change to entitlements? I honestly would like to think there is a chance of surviving but I see no way we don't head over the cliff, it's not a matter of if but a matter of when.

Before We Give Up, Could We At Least Try Selling Our Ideas?

We conservatives may never reach a consensus among ourselves as to the main factors that caused our election defeat, but surely we can agree that we must do a better job of selling our ideas.

Never mind, you say. The electorate has irreversibly become a taker class, and conservative ideas of self-reliance, personal responsibility and individual liberties will never appeal to a majority again, especially with demographics working against the GOP.

We must reject that, or we are as good as surrendering. To accept it, we are confessing our skepticism of the power of ideas, which itself is contrary to the conservative spirit.
