The path forward for conservatism lays in the nations centers of learning. I propose that the leading thinkers of conservative political philosophy schedule regular debates at universities around the nation, being open to all, and funded by the RNC (take the campus funding sources out of the mix).
Then select three key issues, one being a social issue, and debate these for one hour, then open the floor for questions and or statements.
Each participant must be prepared to take some abuse, certainly early on, but gradually a message will begin to come through. While I expect few converts, I do expect that questions will be raised and studied. The goal is to help grow enough thinking people so that unthinking acceptance of liberal doctrines will slow.
For too long, the political “selling” of conservatives has been to preach to their own choir.
