A lot of thought, common sense and good ideas in that essay.

I don't just throw rocks. I write serious proposals for how conservative ideas can work in nearly every field thought to be the exclusive province of government, whether education, environment, transportation, defense, or social welfare. The lack of workable conservative alternatives in public discourse simply maddens me. You can read more, particularly on environmental issues, here and here. For a book on the original Biblical system of national defense, social welfare, and civil comity, lost for over 3,000 years, try this one.

Here is where I differ with a politician like Rick Perry. His ideas revolve around "the same thing, only less." They are not innovative or intelligently directed. They are merely compromises on leftist ideas that center further right than most. Even his hispandering is a mere play for power.

So what?

The marketplace offers alternatives that are fundamentally transformational, yet they somehow never become the point of debate. These are what we should be advancing, rather than Moonbeam ideas like "less is more."

You’re right. He is what Lee Atwater used to call a “Me Too Republican”.

Have you considered throwing your hat into the ring?

You have a lot of ideas.

Why not see if you can do what you see others have not done?

It’s always an option.
