C’mon Rick. A candidate who advocates a return to our original Constitutional republic including decentralizing government power away from DC and back to local governance is worth a dozen Mike Huckabees hollering about abortion.
Because all that hollering will not amount to a hill of beans while moving the center of power from two thousand miles away to your local statehouse might actually allow something to be accomplished.
Decentralization is the only realistic path to state or local or cultural level social conservatism. Any centralization scheme for social conservatism will degrade to progressivism mush and top down amoralism.
