There are two paths before us.
One, we can go with the George Bush SENIOR plan--inveigh against real conservative plans--call them 'voodoo economics'--promise to do conservative things, and then betray our promises--like raising taxes---and lose, lose, lose. Just like in the last election. Gutsy, visionary, truth-telling conservatism wins--which is why we lost. The Heralds of the Half-measure (who call themselves sane and moderate) which is watered down to infintestimality won again--and thus the Conservatives lost.
Or Two, we can follow Reagan. Be joyful and unafraid. Make fun of our enemies while kicking them in the knee, and having a good time doing it--the trash heap of history--the bombs are on the way--tear down this wall--an evil empire---
Imagine that--Reagan joked, very probably on purpose so that others, including the Rooskies would hear--about starting a thermonuclear war. Kind of puts this tempest in a teapot in perspective, hunh?
Now we can be the girly-men that Coulter rightly describes many of the so-called leaders on the Right as--we can sacrifice her to the Left, and hope that those who dream Tranzi dreams which would have to be supported by machine guns will be satisfied.
But I think thats naive. You can get hung for a sheep as well as for a goat. Might as well die proud.
Someday, in the distant future when the Left is politically destroyed, and Libertarians and Social Conservatives politely duel in words over the future, then we can do as the towns in the Old West did after they got law and order--we can ask Chairman Ann to put her gun up, and let the law deal with the wicked. In that day, when Conservatism has triumphed, we can turn the heat down, and the old gunfighter might be politely asked by the new, more suave, and very courteous forces of justice to step down. But in this day and time when assasination is in the minds of many of the Left, we don't need to unilaterally disarm.
Reagan did not unilaterally disarm despite the cries of the nuclear freeze movement. They said it was destabilizing. So let us not join the 'peace' protestors. Let us not join the loser clubbers and the RINO's and the 'we're really conservative' moderates.
We need Ann. We needed Reagan, and the past pope, and the Iron Lady--people who could sound the clarion call, and raise conservatism above its disunified, and frequenly cannibalistic state.
