QUOTE: A nice evenheaded statement of priorities from Diotima, which I find totally unobjectionable, and I note mostly because you'll never hear someone on the left talking this much sense:
"If we on the Right want our elected officials to be more true to conservative ideals, complaining and proclaiming our votes now up for grabs aren't going to accomplish that. We have to focus on making the enactment of our policy preferences the politically expedient thing to do. We are far more likely to have a president who supports conservative policies by convincing the people to demand those policies than by merely electing someone who talks like a conservative or who has acted like a conservative in the past."
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
