I do not believe that Republicans should “moderate” their views, as some have suggested.
The GOP needs to stick to core principles but be more realistic about how to fight for them.
President Obama has deconstructed the electorate into special-interest or ethnic constituencies to create a winning coalition. In his first inaugural speech, he spoke of following those who fought at “Concord and Gettysburg, Normandy and Khe Sanh,” national symbols all. But in his second inaugural, Obama urged us to follow those who marched at “Selma (blacks), Seneca Falls (women), and Stonewall (gays),” each reference a symbol for a disparate constituency group.
