The ideas are out there. They’ve been there for decades. But the Republican leadership has too often betrayed their friends in order to curry favor with their enemies.

My own position? I want the Government’s nose out of my business and its hand out of my pocket. I want the Federal Government to stop trying to do the jobs of state and local governments and do its job. Remember 9/11? I do…and the Dirty Little Secret is that if the Federal Government had stayed in its lane, they might have nipped the scheme in the bud.

As to the whole creationism debate, I really don’t care. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my nose. I’m far more concerned about where a candidate stands on issues of strategy and foreign policy. Because if national security gets botched, several hundred thousand Americans will pay for it with their lives.

Beside that, all else is trivia.
