We did a great job in 2006 of connecting Republicans to Bush and only a slightly less great job of connecting them to the worldwide disaster that is right-wing conservatism.
I'm calling upon the Dkos community to begin a conserted effort to raise awarness of the grandiose failings of conservatism.
A googlebomb is a good start. While the Campaign for America's Future has a nice resource detailing the abject failure of American Conservatism, I'm quite partial to Philip Agre's brilliant "What is Conservatism and What is Wrong with It"?. It's quite possibly the single clearest indictment of conservatism on the internet.
Simply: Conservatism = Aristocracy. Pass it on.
We're the blog authors, the activists, and the messengers of a greater progressive message, so why not be consistent. We've done this before, and this is as good a time as ever to expand awareness of the great failure that is American Conservatism. Whenever you write anything anywhere on the internet, link the word "conservatism" to Philip Agre's brilliant article: http://polaris.gseis.ucla.edu/...
Thanks for everything that you do.
