Their real and ultimately insurmountable problem is that most of their beliefs and positions are inherently indefensible. For how does one make a case for multiculturalism, abortion, bigger state, socialized healthcare or higher taxes?


This guy is just showing off his own biases. There are arguments that can be made for all these positions, and have been. For abortion, one can even make quite a conservative, libertarian sort of argument.

It's just that liberals haven't been good at marshalling arguments lately.

This is the second article I've read today by Vasko Kohlmayer. Guy's a real GWB/conservative advocate.

And this is certainly true. In fact I can't think of one off the top of my head.

It makes one regret that they have almost no counterparts on the liberal side of the battlefield.

I remember having a teacher in High School who had this quote above the blackboard. GWB must have learned this lesson early too.

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
