Facing a deepening minority in Congress and high probability of a Democratic administration, one might say that conservatives are depressed, anxious, and frustrated.
Meanwhile, Democrats are emboldened by a Vote for Change movement, culminating in Obama-mania, that grew fast and furious, while our own President’s approval ratings plummeted.
What is a movement -- or lack of one -- to do when an R is the political scarlet letter in the eyes of the majority? Our animal instincts drive us to grasp for secret weapons and guerilla tactics to fight our way back to the top. And those are necessary.
Yet, we risk further eroding our core, our political soul, if we don't lay a strong foundation first. The "Next Right" depends on a deep understanding of why being right matters and why right is right.
