My ability to post of late continues to be seriously compromised by real life. As I've mentioned before that is both fortunate and unfortunate. Lately, it's been more unfortunate than fortunate but I have managed to distill some learnings down to a more consumable amount for readers - I just haven't put fingers to keyboard yet.
One of the more salient learnings is that the paths for the GOP and for conservatives and/or libertarians must by nature of the respective needs, must diverge. That is not to say that the strategic goals of both have diverged - far from it, regardless of how the current GOP braintrust is behaving. Rather, working towards the same goals for America requires Republicans and conservative citizens take different paths, and cover different ground, to get to where things need to be for 2014 and 2016.
