Transparency. That's what Shelby Steele said in an article earlier this year in the WSJ. Liberal ideas have gained transparency in this country, meaning that concepts such as "pro-choice", or "gaiety" as synonynms for abortion and pederasty respectively, roll of the tongues of liberals and conservatives with equal ease. (Check this very forum for proof!) These are concepts, I repeat, not mere monickers, and as such are most insidious. Transparency means the average person accepts certain ideas without a question or doubt, like mom's apple pie.

Steele suggested that in order for conservatives to make progress they have to make their own ideas transparent. How, I don't know...

Good thought on Transparency. I've been harping here at FR for years that the language is being co-opted by the radical left, and that good old fashioned marketing techniques are the only way to redirect the language in our favor. Market common sense.

It seems silly, but if we put the same young smartasses to work on this campaign as they do on the Stop Big Tobacco ad campaign, the dominant culture would come into line with the post 9/11 reality. Trust me when I say that marketing men come in all political stripes. The lamestream media is months behind the public opinion curve. A few well placed zingers on TV will have enormous effect.This is the advice I send frequently to the RNC, and they don't respond.

This is a reality based solution.
