To the credit of IBCR, when I shared this column with many of my friends, including many liberal friends who aren't insane or stupid, just afraid of the radical right, they gave it a thumbs up. I do, too. Two big thumbs up.Greg Hammondhttp://www.facebook.com/ghammondnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335013332653784695.post-40083995984748414032012-11-08T17:18:01.969-06:002012-11-08T17:18:01.969-06:00Probably the most reasonable analysis I've rea...Probably the most reasonable analysis I've read today from a conservative. I will say that I'm in danger of losing my optimism for the American people, who appear to want to believe everything they hear regardless of any other analysis to the contrary. Maybe we can chalk it up to the overall optimism that President Obama's supporters seem to share that he is able and capable to do the things that he has promised. I think they are buying a well-manufactured corporate image myself, but I could say the same thing about Romney. Conservatives have great ideas, but we've got to get past the "only appeal to the old white guys" mentality of the past two elections. We have got to find new and better ways to communicate those ideals and ideas that are unique to conservatism, and prevent the media and the left from only harping on the negativity that is inherent in Big Change.pete4tidenoreply@blogger.com
