I'd hope a Modern Whig Party would have some fire in it. It's fire which leaves it driving away from the two-party dictatorship. It's fire to differentiate between issues and positions. It's fire which we define on and with our own terms and not those of old and failing parties.
This Party, pragmatic, but also fiery at times. Some issues need a solid and firm stance. Some issues need to wake people up. Modern Whigs should firmly cast off notions of being a mushy moderates.
I'd envision a Modern Whigs Party as not between two ends of a line, but apart from that one-dimensional view of the past. Our modern minds think and act in more dimensions than before. No, I'm saying nothing new.
I'm saying with flight, our frames of reference are more three dimensional than 100 years ago. With computers, their are virtually many more dimensions. So a modern political party should at least describe itself past the linear model 'they' will try to put us on.
