From a political perspective, I have the view of the Founders: religion is good insofar as it promotes morality, and bad insofar as it encourages faction. Generally, I think it is benign, but should be criticized when too divisive.
On economic policy, I generally think that we should have a low tax, low regulation environment, for the promotion of efficient business growth. On the environment, I am skeptical of the current environmental organizations. On foreign policy, I think we carry the major burden of the international system, and should act more like a great power, instead of jumping at every adverse editorial in "Le Monde".
I don't like the level of partisanship that is common around here, but, on the other hand, I do not think that it is all the fault of conservatives........ |
