In the spirit of the holiday, here is a list of 10 things that Republicans and "conservatives" should resolve to do for the new year.

In the wake of Sandy Hook, I argue that if there is no God, then there is no morality.

In the wake of the shooting rampage by mass murderer Adam Lanza in Sandy Hook School in Newtown, Connecticut, demands are being made for better "mental health" treatment, but this focus on mental health reflects, not just massive intellectual confusion, but equally massive moral confusion.

Though the media pegs a lack of gun control as the root cause of the Connecticut shootings, the reality is that Adam Lanza was simply an evil man.

There is no short supply of “conservative leaders” in Washington and the media who draw their inspiration, not from any moral conviction or passion, but from the hunger to achieve fame and fortune.

What must conservatives in "the conservative movement" do to win in the future? This is the question with which many on the Right have been grappling since Barack Obama won his reelection.

First and foremost, they must recognize that they are not conservatives. Rather, they are neoconservatives. 

The differences between conservatism and neoconservatism are fundamental.

This Christmas season, let the atheists among us recognize that the West remains eternally indebted to Christianity. If there were no Christianity, there would be no natural law, natural rights, human rights, or our traditional moral ideals — for without the theological gestalt supplied by Christianity, these ideals are reduced to arbitrary human inventions.

The issue of so-called same-sex "marriage” will soon come before the Supreme Court. I am no betting man, but if I were, I would gamble every dime to my name that before long, “gay marriage” will be the law of the land. I would further bet that those right-leaning politicians and their allies within the alternative media who have insisted upon preserving the heterosexual character of marriage will succumb to a deafening silence not long after that.

A Christian rethinks the annual media line about a "war" on Christmas.

“The Republican Party is no longer the party of limited government, with limited spending and limited taxes. It is now officially exactly right behind the Democrats — on everything. It is time for conservatives to start looking for a new home. There’s precious little left for us here.”

Thus spoke Brent Bozell, founder of Media Research Center and long-time movement conservative.

Although Bozell deserves two thumbs up for his remarks, it is still worth noting that his epiphany is a little late in the coming: If it was ever really the party of limited government, it has been eons since the GOP ceased being so.
