Cal Thomas: Jindal set proper course for GOP
Omaha.com – Cal Thomas – 2/1/2013
Last weekend, National
Review magazine sponsored a “conservative summit” in Washington
Prior to speaking at that
event, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal addressed the Republican National
Committee’s annual winter meeting in Charlotte , N.C. , where he proposed a new strategy for Republicans
and conservatives that begins not in Washington
Jindal said the Republican
Party loses when it plays on the liberal Democrats’ turf, allowing them to set
the agenda.
Here are three Jindalisms
the public can understand:
- Government spending still does not grow our
economy.
- American weakness on the world stage still does
not lead to peace.
- Higher taxes still do not create prosperity for
all.”
Poverty should not be the
final verdict on any life. Republicans need to have “testimony time” during
which people once addicted to government tell how they broke free and are now
earning a paycheck because they embraced conservative principles. Republicans
should be seen as friends of the poor.
Republicans should back a
growing movement to pull children out of underperforming public schools where
often their views, values, understanding of history and even faith are
undermined. Home-schooling is an option.
The public school system,
seemingly a “hot house” for growing new generations of secular liberals, is a
failure on many levels. Private school
is also an option.
Gov. Jindal stated his
vision in Charlotte : “FREE INDIVIDUALS, TAKING RISKS, BUILDING BUSINESSES, INVENTING THINGS
FROM THIN AIR, AND PASSING IMMUTABLE VALUES FROM ONE GENERATION TO THE NEXT ...
THAT IS THE ROOT OF AMERICA
