At NRO , Michael Walsh tells conservatives to “do what Democrats do” and “lay off the social issues.” I’ve already argued against this in a previous post , but there’s another problem: Social issues outperformed Romney nationwide, with the exception of Florida. Chuck Donovan of the Charlotte Lozier Institute has the chart:
Whatever orthodox believers make of the GOP, the party by no means can do without them. Before Republicans start sending social conservatives the Dear John letters, a reminder: It’s not me; it’s you.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
