Wonderful editorial on NRO today. Excerpt:
Conservatives will be tempted to cheer on the Pelosis as they make of the Democratic party an ineffectual rump. We are not immune to the temptation ourselves. But we would rather have a bipartisan consensus in favor of military action to eliminate threats to us than have 47 percent of Congress determined to throw up roadblocks to such action. It would be better for the country if some Democrats were open to pro-growth tax cuts. Democratic presidents will happen every once in a while, and we would sleep easier if those presidents were not left-wing.But conservatives’ hopes are beside the point, since our influence on the Democrats is microscopic. If the Democrats choose to go left, we will just have to redouble our efforts to keep them from the levers of power.
Personally, though, I’d prefer to see the Democrats move way, way left. I’m willing to risk the election of an ultra-liberal president, if the liberals will risk being left out of the mainstream for a generation. Bring it on!
