Newt Gingrich has penned a brief instruction manual for the conservative movement, "Where does the conservative movement go from here?"
The Washington Times
The conservative movement has a simple and almost certainly successful future if it does three things:
1. Advocate first principles with courage, clarity, persistence and cheerfulness.
2. Insist on developing solutions based on those principles and insist on measuring other proposals against those principles.
3. Be prepared to oppose Republicans when they are wrong and side with Democrats when they are right, but always make the decision to support or oppose a matter of first principles and the application of those principles.

Now if we could only find some conservative politicians...
Great story. Newt should have ran for President. He's a big brain thinker. He penned a great article over at http://www.leftrightnews.com
It's worth linking.
