I am not religious.
I also do not see the evangelical faction of the Republican party pushing God onto the agenda. I see them as pushing a prolife and profamily agenda and i have no problem with either of these. Even as a libertarian the govenment still has to protect its weakest members and maintain the most basic unit of our society and community.
Having said this, I think the party should push these on the State level while push for strong nation defense primarily on the national level. Other aspects of the Republican party like small government, fiscal responsibility, economic opportunity, and personal responsibility apply equally to State and Federal levels.
The point of a political party should not be about winning elections, nor should it be about pandering to the voters. The point of a political party is to enact positive change to our nation, and that means moving the middle away from the middle. The left understood this very well, why do we not? By moving toward the middle and abandoning out core principles we deserve to lose each and every time.
