Kondracke: GOP should stop letting conservative radio set its agenda.

[Person Man]

Well, it pretty simple. Nationalism doesn't work when your idea of the "American Nation" no longer exists.

[Person Man]

Ehhh... he's liberal if you are far-right. Then the typically right is the center-right. The Center-right is the "Real" center and the center is the center-left. ...and of course, the typical left is the far left and the far left is just a monolithic bloc that stretches from Bernie Sanders to Josef Stalin.

[Person Man]

Kondracke has it partly right, we need to avoid the inflammatory Coulter, the idealouge Hannity (who's still a good guy), and we need to get on the Limbaugh page.

It's this simple:

Conservation over environmentalism,
Low taxes and low spending,
Strong defense (that we don't use)
Leaving the social issues to the states rather than looking overzealous and stupid about gays.

We'el win again on that.

Limbaugh isn't a psycho or a big social conservative.

Thinking that Hannity is a "Good Guy" is why you are losing. These policies just don't work anymore. Low Taxes and Low Spending? How do you do that with corporate welfare and an expansionist foreign policy...leaving social issues to the states doesn't actually solve any issues, either and just seems irresponsible. I mean, its a good policy, but where do you stand on it after you find the proper venue?

There's a loud and strong argument against bailout-mania from both sides of the aisle.  And in The Man from the GOP's post he said "a strong defense (that we don't use)" which means a non-expansionist foreign policy.

...leaving social issues to the states doesn't actually solve any issues, either and just seems irresponsible. I mean, its a good policy, but where do you stand on it after you find the proper venue?

Because some Conservatives believe that it's unconstitutional for the federal government to enact things like a federal abortion ban or a federal marriage amendment, and that those issues would be better decided by each state individually.

1- It still costs money to build a strong army, but I do agree that it is a good way of providing demand subsitution in supply-side policy-dominated economies....but I would perfer that "strong defense" would include civilian programs, such as the Costellation Program, the Orbital Power program and other science programs.
2- Conservatives will still have to come to decisions at the state level if they want to defer these issues at the state level....and what about territories and commonwealths...and Indian Reservations?
