Today we have several cheerful conservatives in the House and Senate and running some of our State Capitols–may I say we need to build on those models and not on bitter or angry models. And yes, there is a reason the two most popular talk show hosts in the business are Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity: tough though they may be, they do their work with a joyfully and positive attitude even as they criticize left wing nostrums from on both high and low.
I am not saying you ignore bad policies or politics–not at all. But attitude and demeanor matter.
