Take some effort. Explain why she's a moron. Explain why that excerpt is moronic. Your posting like a retard. Explain why you think this.

The article is good in it's recommendations but it is not an either or decision, to focus on the local as opposed to the national. In fact in the world we live in Conservative should also focus on the international and also make outreach to conservatives throughout the world.

I think your title sucks however and shows no understanding of the Conservative movement. It was conservative boomers who did precisely this in the 1970s and 1980s. Congress began tho change and Reagan was elected because of grass roots efforts, there are a lot of unsung behind the scenes conservative boomers out there who started all of this.

But remember the Republican Party is big tent and the Bushes and corporate interests of the Party began to talk a conservative message but governed just as expected, and small grass roots initiatives became big money foundations (Heritage) or even massive networks (Fox News).

Ours is a political philosophy predicated on the principle of subsidiarity, which means that government functions best closest to the governed. State and federal governments should take up only those functions which the local governments are unable to perform. Unlike libertarians, we believe that government is by nature a good thing, a natural thing, and that justice and liberty occur when each level of government does everything it is capable of doing well, and no more. The most basic distinction between progressives and conservatives is that the former believe that a national, centralized government is the instrument by which society’s strengths are dispensed and its problems solved. Small-government conservatives believe that the government closest to the citizen is more accountable, effective, and just regarding almost everything the citizen needs. Part of being a complete person, after all, involves self-rule, legislating, and building one’s own community with one’s neighbors.

We know the administrative state must be undone, but there has never been a workable plan; only ceaseless dismay about its size, persistence, and ills. Right now, millions of people depend on the welfare state, the social safety net, and the various programs built by the New Deal, the Great Society, the Civil Rights Movement, and Obamacare. How does the Right plan to wean society off of those federal programs? How does the Right plan to teach people to self-govern again, when so many of us are used to the most important decisions in our lives being made for us thousands of miles away, by people totally unaccountable to us? How does the Right plan to arrive at a society of self-governing citizens capable of maintaining healthy families, businesses, towns, cities, and states without federal meddling and subsidy? Privatize social security?

Some would call this "White Privilege" or being a "Karen," but this needs to be done more often:

quote:

---

Most still plan to send our kids to the local public high school, where we anticipate becoming frequent visitors to the superintendent’s office and school board meetings.

---

I'd also add sitting in on your child's classes from time-to-time.

The White Privilege in this passage is blinding! How dare these people what a decent childhood for their children!

quote:

---

Several have slowly remodeled old, inexpensive run-down houses. Many own land, large gardens, and farm animals. We have reinvigorated the local Catholic parish and regularly have over 50 children under 10 at Sunday mass. (When my husband and I first moved to town there were fewer than five). We have allied with the local protestant churches, and stand together with over a hundred Christian families united in a common mission of providing a decent childhood for our children and a high quality of life for our community.

Explain why you think she's correct besides just putting a quote in the OP. put in some effort

Shapiro is brilliant. No one is listening to him that doesn’t already agree with him in the main.

---

Agree with your whole post except this part. Although very intelligent Shapiro is not on our side. He is a conservative Inc. His entire existence is to be the conservative contrarian on CNN. He has a case of severe trump derange meant syndrome.

To this day he thinks Trump colluded with Russia despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Before you say he supports Trump he only supports him And says nice things about him occasionally on his radio show. On his network appearances and on his website he Hedge is his bets towards the other side

Too many people waste their energy on stupid bullshite who are "conservative." Time spent ding something good is replaced with outrage of some one thousands of miles away doing something "bad".

I have said this at least 3 times in this thread. I'm putting in the fricking effort, old man.

Killing your spouse as the only path for divorce is a stupid idea, an expensive idea, a deadly idea, and it's not good for the children.

I agree. But if your spouse comes at you with a knife, it’s not a stupid idea. It’s very rational.
