• It is our responsibility to get ahead of the curve.  Every parent may want to give their kid a copy of the God Delusion and then a copy of a counter point like the Dawkins Delusion.  We need to expose kids to what the other side says and then deal with the strengths and weaknesses before it blindsides them in public.
• It is our responsibility to defend and test our faith, therefore, we should understand the best arguments against our faith and try to find reasonable solutions to challenges in the marketplace fo ideas.
• We should demand more of our academic institutions and start doing what the ACLU does...we should start aggressively suing when a teacher goes over the line.  This teacher should be sued with the language of the left.  He was insensitive to a minorities worldview.  He should go to sensitivity training.  Christians and non-christians that care about academic freedom should protest him and carry pictures of the kid on pickets outside of his class.  The Dean should be forced to apologize.
• We have to show kids that there are different models for creation.  For instance, kids should know that folks like Francis Collins believe in evolution, but he is still is a believing Christian.

The democrats excell at demonizing all things conservative.  Conservatives typically have not been able to effectively hit back.  What conservatives need to do is hang the housing market around the neck of democrats and associate this market decline to ACORN, Bruce Marks of NACA, Barney Frank's corrupt relationship with Fannie (euphamism) and Chris Dodd's sweetheart deal.  We are all paying the price for their social engineering.  The market is reflecting the fear it has with regards to over regulation and Obama's brand of oligarchy.  This must happen and those who want to reach across the aisle to liberals must be ostracized from the movement.

The conservative movement in the United States was pinned by George W. Bush.  First and foremost, the conservative movement is based upon the ideal of individual freedom from the concentrated power of the government.  George W. Bush betrayed the conservative movement by double legging the conservatives that penned the Contract with America by teaming up with Teddy Kennedy on No Child Left Behind.  This slick move was supposed to expand and built a permanent Republican Majority by showing that conservatives were "compassionate".   He followed up his double leg by refusing to veto any spending measure.  Then he shot in again and stunned the conservative movement by signing the Medicare Prescription Drug Bill.  This is when I unenrolled from the Republican PArty and became and Independent.  George W. Bush had moved the respectable party of balanced budgets to a whore funding the Bridge to Nowhere.  Finally, he ended up pinning of the conservative movement through his massive overreach with the Bailout of...well you name it.  GWB transformed the Republican brand into a party more abusive than the Democratic party on the vital issues of government growth.  If the conservative movement is to gain strength, it must aggressively oppose the new deomocratic majorities on their inevitable tax and spend mandate.
