Political foo: another good one from Steyn

'Free to lose' isn't good philosophy for the right wing

You can't be in favor of assertive American foreign policy overseas and increasing Europeanization domestically; likewise, you can't take a reductively libertarian view while the rest of the planet goes to pieces. Someone in the GOP needs to do what Ronald Reagan did so brilliantly a quarter-century ago:reconcile the big challenges abroad with a small-government philosophy at home. The House and the Senate will not return to Republican hands until they do.

I get tired of the "purists" at every point on the spectrum, who would rather lose elections than govern in tandem with people who are not in total agreement with themselves.
