David Frum buys into the madness<\/a>, playing the Dems’ game for them.<\/p>\nSo who’s the voice of conservatism and the GOP in America?<\/p>\n
Me.<\/p>\n
I, Mitch Berg, am the voice of the Republican party.\u00a0 My agenda – support growth, limit government intrusion, destroy the enemy (via violence, dipomacy or humanitarianism, it matters not), cut taxes, support the family, defend our culture – is what the party’s agenda should be.<\/p>\n
Having an agenda, of course, is of little value if you can’t get it elected.\u00a0 Republicans – conservative, moderate, whatever – need to get together, figure out the 80% of the message that 80% of us agree on, and convince the other 50% of this country (the ones that aren’t already either Republicans or lost causes) why it not only matters to them, but is a much better choice.\u00a0 By this time next year, it might not even be all that hard – if we can stop letting the bad guys set us against each other.<\/p>\n
So yeah.\u00a0 I’m the voice of the GOP.<\/p>\n
Of course, so are all of my True North colleagues.<\/p>\n
And every conservative Republican in Minnesota who doesn’t <\/em>write for True North, or write at all.<\/p>\nAlso every conservative in America, from Rush Limbaugh and Tom Coburn through the guy in the plumbing supply store in Clear Lake Iowa who’s wondering how he’s going make ends meet.<\/p>\n
There’s <\/em>your voice of conservatism.<\/p>\nNote to the liberal media; I hope that settles this.<\/p>\n
