After a financial meltdown leading to a severe recession on the Republican watch, and the flailing response of the Bush administration and the incoherence of congressional Republicans, one area that invites urgent new thinking is economic policy. It will be important, over the next four years, to fight to save free-market capitalism from the Obama administration. It will be almost as important--and more interesting--to figure out how to save capitalism from its own worst aspects and most damaging tendencies.

The past is to learn lessons from not to try to go back there, Kristol and company need to look forward and stop trying to emulate history, arguing original intent and all those other code words that mean "not changing" sounds good to populists but we are not all in that club. (for growth) HE HE
Kristol and company have spent millons of words and dollars on how to be a good conservative, now is the time to talk about what a good american should do. If you see yourself as a conservative first then where does the american come in?

Basically, conservatives of the Kristol School are in the very lucrative business of whining about lost privileges.
