OKAY, I KNOW THE NAME SOUNDS LIKE A TRANSFORMER
Another resolution for this year - to flesh out my prediction of an emerging "pragmacon" movement.
Deacon at Powerline suggests:
most conservatives are already Pragmacons. Indeed, it seems self-evident that there are significant limits to the ability of the U.S. to spread democracy, pluralism, free markets, free speech and religious freedom throughout the world. The tough question is where those limits are located (e.g., are they located in Iraq). A distinct Pragmacon "wing" will emerge to the extent that conservatives conclude that the neoconservatives are radically wrong on that question. And, yes, 2005 could well be the year in which this occurs.
Meanwhile, blogger Es-Ist applauds the coming debate among conservatives:
In that The Liberal Party has lost and continues to lose credibility, conservatives need to keep an active debate going. Especially in matters of sending people over in war.
The Liberal Party is no longer a reliable opposition party. The more active the debate inside The Conservative Party, the better.
