The best representatives in government are those dragged, kicking and screaming, to their offices. It seems to me that liberals today desire most the application of power to further their agendas; and that conservatives today want most to attend to business. If this is a true perception, then government gives a well-matched environment for the best liberals, and a poorly-matched environment for the best conservatives. Conservatives' problems include, in my opinion, a major one: finding high-quality people willing to step into governmental roles on our behalf. I may be jaded, but it seems to me that most who proposed themselves for office are not of very high quality. The conservatives problem, if they wish to get high-quality people to represent them in government, is to somehow coerce the John Galts of the world to go to government service. I fear (and I pick the word intentionally) that we will not be able to do this.
