I’m not sure what part of “the conservative model” requires passive acquiescence to all affronts. That has never been part of my model, and I don’t know of any other conservatives who live by that model.
Since you have all the answers, I expect to see your ass on the line. What ballot are you on?
If you’re not running for an office, then you are another “perfect candidate” resting on their butts telling everyone else what the problems are but offering no solutions. In other words, worthless.
The Conservative model isn’t about passive letting things happen, that is actually a liberal model- waiting for someone else (usually the government) to do the job that you should be doing. Conservative at its core is about the individual, thus, a true Conservative individual wouldn’t be passive in any of these instances, they would be active- not demanding government fix the problems, but taking a proactive-approach to each of these.
Don’t like how your kids are being taught, change their schools or teach them yourself.
Don’t like what is happening with elections, run for an office, become a poll watcher, or become active in the community.
Etc, etc..
Not if you never bought into the scam of secular humanism and sent your children to private religious schools. If more did that, the NEA's monopoly would come to an end.
The failure is the American voter.
While you were working and paying taxes, half the US population was made exempt from paying income taxes (And if they did not earn enough, they were given free money by the IRS, under the Earned Income Credit).

Way cool!
Before you come back to this time, can you look up and freep mail me me the winning Powerball lottery ticket numbers for the July 27th, 2010 drawing?
So...what is your strategy?
I mean, besides accusing and pigeonholing everyone on here while making many assumptions without any validation.
I agree wholeheartedly with the above sentences. We’ve had the “creeping socialism” for YEARS, courtesy of Both “political party Rulers” (notice, even the RINO’s that continue at the helm). It’s taken Obama and the radicals to wake up more than Freepers. I think the TeaParties are testament to that.
I didn't list my solutions because I wanted to see responses to my observations, not to ideas put forward. Maybe I'm missing something or my decoder ring is out of date but I couldn't define the current Conservative model any other way but passive. If anyone could provide an example or two, I'd be receptive.
I keep hearing about the need to educate about Conservatism. Well, someone again pointed out the 2 to 1 identification ratio so our work should be done, let's go fishin'. Well, actually we can't do that because electoral results don't bear that statistic out, does it? We might start by discovering how people define Conservative vs conservative.
