Very interesting, thank you. I don't agree with everything he's saying, but it seems like a nice "wake up call" for the party, so to speak. I just hope people are listening...

Well I noticed his title is Chair of the Republican House Policy Committee, so he seems to be in position to give the "wake up call". Out of curiosity, what is your reaction to/thoughts on this section?

What are the Republican Party's principles that will be employed to meet and surmount these challenges? We have five enduring principles:
1. Our liberty is from God not the government.
2. Our sovereignty rests in our souls not the soil.
3. Our security is through strength not surrender.
4. Our prosperity is from the private sector not the public sector.
5. Our truths are self-evident not relative.

In the abstract I think it's a catchy way of putting things. Of course it gets more complicated than that (i.e. "Our security is through strength not surrender," is a bit strong) and "Our sovereignty rests in our souls not the soil," may be going a bit far, but I see his point that those tend to make up the traditional bedrock of the party, so to speak.

What about #1 -- do you think that is also a foundation of Republican belief?
