The core of Pierce’s argument is that conservatives can’t win because they aren’t really trying. The left plays for keeps. They have an overriding goal. They have a world to win. Conservatives are just trying to hold on to the 1950s or the 1980s. Conservatives may fight ferociously from time to time, but they are always playing defense. They think the election of a Nixon or a Reagan is a great victory, then lapse into complacency, only to awaken a few years later to find that the left has been on the march the whole time.
Other things being equal, the side that fights to win will defeat the side that fights for a draw. Fortune favors the bold, those who launch offenses, not those who merely play defense.
Conservatives also make a virtual cult out of being good sports, graceful losers, and ready compromisers.
All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible. - T. E. Lawrence

Kevin MacDonald's Good Sense
The term ‘White’ is useful because in fact the various White groups do have biological common ancestors. See, e.g., Salter’s On Genetic Interests. We are related and constitute a race or ethnic group. In America, where the various White groups are mixed, it makes no political sense to emphasize the various pure White ethnicities because there aren’t many pure types (e.g., I am German and Scottish) and because we need a larger category that has political potential. The designation of ‘White’ has a long history in American culture, although I am not averse to calling ourselves European-Americans. White Americans have common interests with various European indigenous ethnic groups and all of us have interests in defending Europe from invasion by Muslims and other non-Whites. Hence, it seems to me that a larger category like White that applies to all of us is useful. This is not to deny the reality and usefulness of particular White ethnic groups in the European context. For example, in Sweden, it makes sense to appeal to the traditional people and culture of Sweden.
