It must be hard for grassroots folks like these two who actually seem to believe in movement conservative principles. They got abandoned by all levels of conservative leadership. Conservative leadership did a U-turn on essentially every issue.
IMO they win just by making me (and you) think of it in this way.
I don't think they are looking at it from a political leadership perspective, but rather from a cultural/research angle.
As a father of 3 teenagers I find their take very convincing.
And off course before the kids my views on many issues were much more liberal
Why do you say "of course"? Having kids pushed me more liberal, school funding and curriculum issues being the wedges, but seeing lots of kids and families sure helped.
