Despite what some would argue, same-sex marriage is not the end of the world. It’s just allowing that world to get a little bit bigger. more
What the Tea Partiers Really Fear
Dennis Sanders wrote on September 30th, 2010 at 11:58 am
Tea partiers are often written off as being motivated by racial resentment or “white panic”. But what is really driving those fears? more
Don’t Take the Anti-Islamic Bait
Dennis Sanders wrote on August 4th, 2010 at 4:05 pm

Why Moderates are Ditching the Right
Dennis Sanders wrote on July 22nd, 2010 at 5:07 pm
There isn’t a movement in the U.S. committed to building a moderate conservatism. The impulse among the dissatisfied on the right is to simply walk away. more
Rand Paul Clueless About Race
Dennis Sanders wrote on May 20th, 2010 at 1:49 pm
Libertarians are wary of government telling private businesses what they can and cannot do. But there are times when government must tell a private entity that they cannot impinge on the liberty of another person. more
GOP Should Be Ashamed of AZ’s Anti-Immigration Law
Dennis Sanders wrote on May 4th, 2010 at 4:14 pm
The passage of Arizona’s anti-immigration bill has damaged the perception of the GOP in the minds of millions of Hispanic-Americans. This law has basically told the fastest growing minority in America that they are not to be trusted. more
Leave Civil War History to the Historians
Dennis Sanders wrote on April 7th, 2010 at 5:14 pm
Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell’s decision to issue a proclamation declaring April as “Confederate History Month” will only hurt the GOP in the long run. more
Can the GOP be Saved?
Dennis Sanders wrote on April 6th, 2010 at 1:55 pm
Over the years, I’ve read tons of pieces by people disgusted at the current state of the GOP and conservatism in general. But after we cry for what has been lost, what do we do then? more

GOP Has Shortage of Moderates and New Ideas
Dennis Sanders wrote on February 10th, 2010 at 10:23 am
While many have talked about the shrinking Republican tent when it comes to how it treats moderates, there is also a shrinking tent of ideas. As much as we make fun of Democrats for employing 1970s ideas to solve current issues, many in the GOP act like it’s 1980 all over again. more
Don’t Equate “Moderate” with “Bland”
Dennis Sanders wrote on February 8th, 2010 at 8:30 am
In his latest post, E.D. Kain confuses “centrism” and “moderation” to mean a Republican that aims toward a bland middle of the road view. However, history shows us that moderate Republicans are a real faction with unique values and positions. more
Club for Growth Tries to Lose One More GOP Seat
Dennis Sanders wrote on October 12th, 2009 at 1:05 pm
The Club for Growth and pro-life groups are opposing the selection of Dede Scozzafava as the GOP candidate in New York state’s 23rd congressional district as insufficiently conservative. But their opposition may just hand the seat over to the Democrats. more
Don’t Despair Yet, Mr. Bartlett!
Dennis Sanders wrote on August 31st, 2009 at 4:25 pm

Relying on emergency rooms to provide universal care is probably the most expensive kind of healthcare, tackling problems when they are more serious and therefore more costly. more
