Faithnomore is correct (and they kick ass!). for many of the republicans this is exactly what they mean. The right wing uses "code words". Therefore "faith based" really means "Christian".
But, Perhaps, do not fret. What you say IS correct. That is what a republican is supposed to be. In fact, it was the American republican Party that spawned the Progressive movement in America. Look up Theodore Roosevelt (my all time fav. president, ragardless of his minor flaws.) A healthy dose of civil libertarianism with just the right amount of social safety net. This is what Roosevelt meant when he said "A more efficient government". By knocking down the trusts of big business, you can guarentee a more freer market.
If I were to ever call myself a republican, I would call myself a Roosevelt Republican. Sure, I would prefer Anarcho-syndicalism, but I am willing to adapt if the system is fair.
Quote:Not only that, but it will further the system of the poor stay poor. Upward mobility wil become even more of a pipe dream since the one thing that truly makes it possible is a good education. Our current system is broken in this sense, because the poorer the community, the worse the schools. Ron Paul's ideas wil make it even worse.Dead on the money there faith. In order to have a freer and balanced market (you know, the kind that Libertarians preach will happen), you have to have equal opportunity to enter the market. The market should not be allowed to get "cornered". Syndicalism (anarcho or not) would ensure that economic system would happen... but I am sad to say that I am in a small minority supporting such an Ideal.
