My friend Paul Tuns has an interesting analysis of the recent political showdown in Ottawa and what it means for social conservatives.

Socons might have an easier time if they would just adopt some reasonable points of view, and give up enforcing their retarded morality on the rest of society. Just a start.
Anon 2:25: If you choose to see it that way, so be it. Stupid individual religious beliefs are fine for stupid individual application...YOU follow the rules, their YOUR stupid rules. The rest of us will strive to live in a secular society governed by secular laws...you know, the ones that don't enforce a particular religious point of view.
Yep it sucks for you, but here we are. I suggest some of that 'turn the other cheek' business.
Gerry Nicholls is a communications consultant and writer who has been called a “political warrior” a “brilliant strategist” and one of the “canniest political observers in Canada.”
He has worked as a consultant in both the United States and Canada and was formerly a senior officer in the National Citizens Coalition.
A regular columnist with the Ottawa Hill Times, his work has also appeared in the Globe and Mail, the National Post and in the Sun Media chain; and he has appeared on countless TV and radio public affairs programs. He is the author of the book, Loyal to the Core, Harper, Me and the NCC.
“Loyal to the Core is a daring and provocative work. It deserves to be read by conservative activists and politicos.” – Western Standard
“This is a very important book.” -- Michael Coren, TV host
“A fascinating read” --- Seamus O'Regan, Canada AM
“I really enjoyed Loyal to the Core. It’s a great book”, - Charles Adler, radio host.
"Loyal to the Core should be required reading for anyone considering or starting a career at a conservative think tank or in electoral politics in general …Consider Loyal to the Core a cautionary tale that’s also a funny, easy read – with a few highly “stealable” ideas for media campaigns thrown in for good measure.”- Kathy Shaidle, author Tyranny of Nice
“Every Canadian remotely interested in politics and the state of the country should have a read of Loyal to the Core. – blogger Wendy Sullivan
"It’s rare to find a politico, however, who is equally passionate about policy and strategy, but columnist, pundit, author and Western Standard blogger Gerry Nicholls is such a person." Matthew Johnson, owner Western Standard
"If you are a conservative who wonders how conservatives can communicate their message in a hostile media climate, Loyal to the Core is a must read." -- At Home in Hespeler
"You HAVE TO read this book!" -- Connie Fournier Free Dominion

In other words, abandon principle, compromise on matters of truth, and waver in the defense of human rights.
It would certainly be a start - a start in sliding down to the depths of sin with the rest of society.
Polite conservatives...that's what we are known as according to Travesty:

If Canada is a "secular society" governed by "secular laws", we should probably remove the following from the Constitution (opening line)
"Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law:"
That doesn't sound very secular to me.
