From a reader:

Jonah –
Love the column &c. No, really. I’m in Iraq; ‘net time is limited; and
I goto your column first after e-mail.
I *know* democrats don’t care. I *know* we’re winning this war (my Cav
Troop sure as hell made a difference!).
But what do we good, honest, conservative Americans do about the
rampant intellectual dishonesty of a party that – as you say – can’t
even admit their mistake because to do so would involve them in the
decision-making process in the first place? Besides voting; besides
calling a noodle-spined member of the House of Lords, er, Senate, and
asking him to at least ACT like a conservative once in a while – what
do we do?
I am sick of knowing the Democrats don’t care, and sick of them getting
away with it, and sick of watching my elected representatives let them.
