On Tearing Down and Building Up

Just as I predicted in my March 28th post about the differences in Political Strategy between the Democrats and Republicans of SL, we are building ourselves up while the Democrats tear each other down. Well, in this case the Hillary Clinton HQ tore themselves down, literally.

Overnight they went from one of the most attractive HQ to nothing. Apparently over a squabble between the land owner and the group ( http://secondchoices.wordpress.com/2007/04/04/gone-with-a-click ). Of course, I don't expect this to be the end for the Hillary Clinton HQ as they still have a large group of followers that will no doubt be rebuilding in a new location as soon as they can.

However, this does go to show the possible problems that can arise if one member becomes too dominate within a group. Or in this case, what can happen if the land of a HQ is on private property rather than group land that is financially supported by the group members, as is the Republican HQ. The importance of which, is only now becoming fully appreciated.

Speaking of the Republican HQ, it appears that we have a few new additions. The WonderFrame with the pictures of the Republican Presidents is now complete. It not only shows each Republican President for the past 150 years, but it whispers their name. Furthermore, Vyre, at the time of posting, is working on making a more inclusive seating arrangement, as the Republican Party of SL has outgrown our intimate expanding circle chairs.

Also, I have added an Intersting Reading page to my blog ( http://robbrail.wordpress.com/interesting-reading ) in time it should grow to be a good resource on conservative thought. Until then, feel free to suggest links to good papers, and if you know the type of conservative thought it is representative of please share that as well. It is my goal to be able to show not just the depth of conservative thought but also the true breadth.

I am also trying to focus in on the timeless conservative issues, so if you run across something that isn't based on current politics but rather a theoretical conservative approach to solving a problem, please share that as well.
