"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
I’d say that conservatism is a spent force in the GOP. If McCain becomes President (and that’s beginning to look likely...) he also becomes head of the GOP. Do you think he’s going to tolerate any conservatives in policy making positions?
I don’t think so...
It will probably take 12-20 years for conservatives to find a new home.
