Amen!
A GOP that continues to abandon such conservative principles will be delivered into the hands of its enemies.
They certainly will lose their most loyal voting bloc, Evangelical Christians.
It seems to me that as we attract libertarians a great deal of education needs to be done about where the foundation of a moral code should be found and why. I think most libertarians will argue that the human heart is good.
They are going to lose a lot more voters than they could hope to gain.
They are going right against the Bible in that case. And even worse, I think they know it, too.

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
— Jeremiah 17:9
I'd be willing to take the other side of that wager at fairly steep odds. The premise of keeping government small is that men are inherently corruptible, power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
It's the folks who want to give government the power to rule over us who do so on the presumption that the men doing the ruling will be good.
So that’s why they support limited government? I support limited government because I know the human heart is bad and prone to tyrannize its citizenry via a big state.
