Signs of Intelligent Life in the GOP

Wednesday, 01 April 2009 07:00

The House GOP is starting to show signs of intelligent life. Led by my friend, Congressman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, House Republicans have developed a budget alternative that shows Americans the principled differences between small government conservatives and big government liberals

Congressman Ryan had this piece in today's Wall Street Journal outlining the plan and differentiating it from the Obama budget. I especially liked his closing paragraph:

In the recent past, the Republican Party failed to offer the nation an inspiring vision and a concrete plan to tackle our problems with innovative and principled solutions. We do not intend to repeat that mistake. America is not the greatest nation on earth by chance. We earned this greatness by rewarding individual achievement, by advancing and protecting natural rights, and by embracing freedom. We intend to continue this uniquely American tradition.

There's a reason Gary Becker won the Nobel Prize in Economics. Read this WSJ interview for terrific insights into the current crisis.

Welcome to a New Majority

If you're tired of the issue-free partisanship that is trivializing the critical challenges facing our country, then you've come to the right place. We're in the middle of recreating the website, so forgive us if it's a bit chaotic for a day or two.

Because we think you’ll agree that we must get back to work on behalf of an agenda that will solve our country’s problems and save this great nation for our kids and grandkids, we founded the New Majority Project, an effort to re-engage the fight for limited government and a strong America.

Real change won’t come with the wave of a magic wand. Entrenched interests aren’t just going to give up control. It will require all the effort we can muster.

Over the last few years, too many politicians and organizations supposedly dedicated to our cause stopped pushing big ideas, persuading Americans, and winning new adherents to the limited government coalition. They became guardians of the status quo rather than its enemies.
