Private values, public policy

Senator Jeff DeMint (R-SC) says that America has three core values: “faith, family and freedom.”  Now, he argues in today’s Washington Times, we’ve lost the connection between lawmaking and those basic principles:

Political leaders since Mr. Reagan have destroyed our national consensus by disconnecting our beliefs and values from national policy, and by telling Americans we can have it all without making the difficult choices.
