Of Anger & Electoral Loss
GayPatriot — ... The issue should be channeling that activity into a productive endeavor.  Take a gander at the current discourse on the right.  The subhead, for example, of Karl Rove’s piece in Newsweek applies to gay marriage advocates as much as it applies to the conservatives he is addressing:  “We’ve been walloped in consecutive elections*, but we can’t just dwell on the past. The future is already here.“ ...

Townhall.com Blog's TownHall Blog — Writing in Newsweek, Karl Rove offers a blueprint for the GOP's return to power . Not surprisingly, every point he makes is a valuable one. #9 of his ten points deserves special mention. He writes: Culture matters. Suggestions that we abandon social conservatism, including our pro-life agenda, should be ignored. These values are often more popular than the GOP itself.

Past imperfect
The Reaction — ... Does anyone sane still think the purpose of our government is to enforce sectarian rules as interpreted by self appointed mullahs? Apparently so. Karl Rove sets forth in the same issue to tell us that in reconstituting the Republican party, the values traditional to people who traditionally oppose any concept of freedom other than their own freedom to impose rules, should absolutely never be compromised. Can we really separate the "conservative culture" he champions from the long standing tyrannical opposition to things as diverse and numerous as "Misogyny," ...
