I think I found my write in candidate for November. I like the sound of his "Conservative Radicalism".
Since politicians like to have campaign slogans, instead of "Bring it On!" my slogan might be "Get rid of it!" to describe all the laws, policies, and government agencies that I would abolish. [...]Cabinet-level departments, for example, would be reduced to just two -- the Defense Department and the State Department, with the latter purged of the weak-kneed internationalist crowd who have dominated it for so long. Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Labor, etc., would all be abolished as just money-wasting bureaucracies serving outside special interests, instead of the people whose taxes support them.
Unfortunately, Thomas Sowell suffers from the same problem Adalai Stevenson did. When Stevenson ran for Pres, the story goes that a woman yelled out to him at a campaign stop, "Mr. Stevenson, you have the vote of all thinking people!" To which Stevenson replied, "Madame, that's not enough! We need a majority!"
