:::::Of course, what we all want is a Leader who emerges as the [[Best of the public]] and initiates a movement for positive change. So far, I'm unaware of any author or talk-show host who can fill those shoes. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 13:39, 30 December 2009 (EST)

::::::I have to agree. For all that conservative talk-show types and authors do to spread the conservative message and fight liberal media, there is too often a certain amount of self-promotion and a lack of original thinking (that in itself isn't a failure. We typically don't expect the communicators to be the innovators as well). I would not put Coulter, Beck, Limbaugh, or Malkin in the top, but would promote figures like James Dobson and Jerry Falwell, who have done astounding amounts of work to create grassroots campaigns, disseminate information, develop conservative ideas, etc. [[User:DouglasA|DouglasA]] 17:43, 30 December 2009 (EST)

:::::Even many of us CP contributors may have little or nothing original to contribute. But restating and organizing the well-expressed thoughts of others is also valuable. It may even be the essence of what an encyclopedia is supposed to be. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 18:09, 30 December 2009 (EST)
