The reason Conservatism is failing is not because the principles are wrong. If they were wrong why would we keep them. No it is because the current entrenched plutocrats are unwilling to defend our beliefs. We don’t get Conservative Ideas we get less liberal ideas. We compromise too much, because we want to be nice. Our ideas don’t sound nice to most people. By that I mean most people are not rich so when Liberals say we are going to take their money and give it to everyone else, subconsciously people think “I am not rich, that is like free money! I like free money!”. And what do we get to say “Welfare is a systemic problem that only breeds more welfare and more government dependence.” Not Nice. We need to change how we convey our ideas.  If we ask people if they would be happy if the government forced them to mow their lawn every Saturday. Do you think they would be happy? If we asked them that for those people who do not mow their lawn they and 10 of their neighbors all have to mow 1/10 of the unmowed law. Do you think they would be happy? That is taxes and welfare. People are OK with taxes and welfare when they do not think about it. But if you make it real people will care.

Its not Conservatism that went away its our ability or our willingness to  express those ideals in a meaningful way to our generation. Remember we may be nicer and more open than previous generation, but we are also more selfish. If you make it impact someone personally they will care.

Its for the Polar Bears!
