Super, you know I lean towards the right, and I have a simple (hopefully not simple-minded) answer.

I believe in limited government, but there are things that are best done by government. By far, the most important role of government is to protect and defend the nation. Without that, the nation disappears into tomorrow's history books.

With the country protected against outside enemies, we are all free to pursue life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Wanting limited government is not the same as hating the government, something you regularly accuse conservatives. Government has it's proper roles, but left unchecked, government will outgrow it's proper roles into areas it does not belong. I am all for a government that is efficient and productive.

I wish for all people on this planet to have the same opportunities I have as an American. (Oops! Is that too compasionate?) But we need a big wall, on both borders, along with an efficient way to welcome those who want nothing more than the American dream.
