Podcast & blog:
I have a challenge you can help me with.
Right now, and please don’t second-guess yourself, think of the word conservative. What does it mean to you?
I’m tired of hearing ‘conservative’ being framed, often disparagingly, as a right-winger with views cast in concrete. It’s polarizing. People are simply trotting out a script. My journalist colleague calls it ‘message track’. … More The Conservative Conundrum
