limited government is the cornerstone of conservative policy. republicans haven't been the staunchest advocates of libertarian federalism... but then again, they aren't always conservative either.

i'm a firm believer that more power should be given to the states with the federal government's primary duties restrained to foreign policy, defense, and transportation. this sounds like a wonderful idea to me. i think you'll find that evangelical christians would back this as well.
