Or, as Yogi Berra said, "When you see a fork in the road, take it."

Will Rogers' famous line, "I belong to no organized political party- I'm a Democrat," seems to be increasingly applicable across the aisle. At The Next Right the debate on the way forward is coming to a fork in the road:
From The Muppet Movie (1979). As one would expect of a 
Hollywood production, Fozzie Bear and his Studebaker are going left.

There is no basic disagreement here, but conservatives are balkanizing into "ideas" or "tech" camps needlessly. Because of the magnitude of the GOP loss, there is an unfortunate sense that we don't know where to begin. Fixing any one thing would not have stemmed the tide.That's why we need to at least try to fix everything starting now. That means revamping our ideas and rebuilding our infrastructure. These are not mutually exclusive. Those arguing that we need to do one before we do the other, or at the expense of the other, are part of the problem.
