I had the privilege of hearing the President’s Domestic Policy Advisor Karl Zinsmeister’s address to the Federalist Society this morning. It was brilliant and inspiring. Not only did he focus on the virtue of individuality that America embodies but he stressed thrift, responsibility and the wisdom of a free people. In answer to a question, he said that he would hope these principles would be cleaved to in stopping bad ideas over the next two years. I have to say I came out of the address more hopeful than I have been for several years.
