Some Thoughtful Ideas On Conservatism

The Boston Globe announced that former Governor and presidential candidate Mitt Romney will be writing on occasion for The Washington Times' new column, "Reinventing Conservatism". In that same column this past Wednesday, Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the U.S. House, published an article titled, "Where does the conservative movement go from here?" Mr. Gingrich focuses on principles, not party lines, and presents a credible view of where he thinks the GOP should be headed.

Keep tabs on The Washington Times for Mitt Romney. In the meantime, Newt Gingrich's article is well worth the read.

I think the future of the Republican Party is more in the hands of Bobby Jindal than either Mitt or Newt.

>>"Governor Jindal embodies what I have long said: The Republican Party must not be simply the party of 'opposition,' but the party of better solutions," House minority leader John Boehner of Ohio said in a statement.<<
Hmmm... didn't someone in the Wachusett region say: "Transparency is great, invisibility isn’t. A more effective government can be had if we have a visible opposition party. The purpose of an opposition party is to be in opposition. It need not be obstructionist. But it has to exist."?

I am acquainted with the gentlemen who wrote that insightful idea. My question, Mr. Frum, is how do we go about geting our own work published?
