“Lay down the philosophical swords”

That’s the worst advice I’ve ever heard. The American people are re-awakening to the necessity of constitutional conservatism and he wants to lay down the swords? WTF is that?

Exactly. The philosophical sword needs to be brandished at every opportunity. WHY is constitutional conservatism the answer for most things.

Troubling. Sounds like something McCain would say.

I’m not certain what he meant by that, but to me it could be good advice. Stop battering our heads on the enemy’s armor. They have the media on their side, along with the 50% of the voters that are really ignorant.

We need banners more than swords right now. Come up with some policies that appeal to the people that work for a living (whether it be as business owners, or as employees) and give us all something to rally around.

Teach the American people what communism is again (since many seem to have forgotten or never learned it) and why it is evil and then make them realize that the Progressives are their enemy too.

The GOP could be America’s Party if they pulled their heads out of their butts and looked around at what middle class Americans want.
