Conservative Panic

In the conservative movement, there is an unspoken feeling of panic. The main sign of it is that, with the last national elections, they haven't realized that there might be something else wrong other than they "haven't been conservative enough" (i.e. "libertarian enough"). All they seem interested in is smaller government because "the American people can do anything". But how can the American people do anything if they have leaders who are not willing to lead? The earth cries out for the Republicans to hear them, but apparently the Republicans' radios have broken down. They have offered very few measures (maybe they offered tax-cuts) and no new ones. How can a party survive if the only alternative to "more of the same" they see is in the opposition? The agenda of the latest CPAC conference should serve to confirm this theory, if you aren't ready to accept it yet.
