Rod Dreher proposes several topics for conservative soul-searching after the coming election including these:

I. “After Market Fundamentalism: What Conservatives Got Wrong About the Free Market, and What We Should Defend Even Though The Market Is Flat On Its Back”

VII. “The Conservative Bubble: The Lies We Told Ourselves, And How to Be Honest Going Forward”

X. “Is the Religious Right Still Politically Relevant? Theoconservatism Amid Popular Acceptance of Gay Marriage and Abortion Rights”

John Schwenkler adds some:

1. Conservatism: Is there any such thing?

5. War: What is it good for?

6. We’re getting warmer: Articulating a conservative response to climate change and ecological degradation

They both list several worthy issues, but I have an idea of the topics that will come up on the National Review Cruises and other gatherings:

Liberal Media: threat or menace.

Remember Bill Clinton, wasn’t he awful?

Did we discuss Ayers, Acorn, Rev. Wright, etc. enough?

Why haven’t we bombed Iran yet?

We would have won if we had only nominated Romney or Thompson.

Some people were mean to Sarah Palin.

Will Obama bring back big government?
