PBS's
American Masters “The Amish” last night reminded me that a
Libertarian such as Rand Paul could frame the debate in a manner that
would turn the GOP away from its dead end with the Evangelical Right.
No Evangelical could claim to be more pious, observant of religious
order and personally conservative than a faithful Amish. So that
when a candidate is confronted with a moral hardliner one could use
the Amish as an example of separation of church and state where there
is no intention of making others live the way they do. Until
Republicans can educate Evangelicals to live without influence and
support a free market agenda will they it be able to reverse the
party's low appeal with the young.
