FB Group Discussion Board Hot Topic: "Here is what we need to do"

At this writing there are more than 30 posts in this forum about the steps that conservatives need to take in order to coalesce into a unified front.

The first poster started the discussion by suggesting that "the first thing that we need to do is to pull our middle leaning brothers and sisters back to the basic ideals and principles of the conservative movement." He pointed out that there are two obstacles to this goal. First is the "Bush Republicans", who tend to value emotion over reason. Second is the liberal agenda of public school education, which has biased the "educated vote" against conservative candidates. He then asked for constructive contributions to this discussion.

Some of the points made by subsequent posters included:

• A Conservative Party could be founded [actually, it exists] if the Republican Party continues to be perceived by voters as "Demo-lite".
• Both bipartisanship and reaching out to independents and undecided voters should cease.
• Stress the differences between the conservative movement and the Democrats. This should be preceded by BEING different from the Democrats.
• Publicly promote conservative ideals and principles (e.g., states' rights, limited government, fiscal responsibility). The return of the Fairness Doctrine should be prevented because it would limit a significant outlet for this information (namely, conservative talk radio).
• Conservative groups/websites could begin to reverse the ideological bias in public education [see Accuracy in Academia] by sponsoring military veterans who want to become teachers.
• Increase public awareness of the importance of teaching (unbiased) history and civics in school.
• Independent conservative education ("conservative boot camp") could be provided to counter the liberal bias of the education system [these exist -- see, for example, the Leadership Institute and the New Centurion Program].
• Infiltrating the fields of journalism and marketing [see Accuracy in Media] need to become conservative priorities.
