I like the list and here are some suggestions based on a metaphysical perspective. I shy away from the term christian because all religions have been compromised and misused by mankind. That is not to say that I would leave out core values found in many religions. I have included self love, self worth, self respect, love and respect for mankind. They must be included in core principles for the future. Self worth is essential if you want to discover the potential of your spiritual self. We are in the mess we are in because most have lost the connection with their Higher Self. A reconnection with our Higher Self will allow humanity to cast off our limited past and move towards a limitless future.
Now my suggestions: 4. Peace through strong military and core values of love, worth and respect. 5. Gold backed currency (find the work President Kennedy did on this ) 8. Separation of Military, Science, Government 9. Equal opportunity based on relevant qualifications 11. Education system based on analysis, problem solving, debate, mutual respect, a rediscovery of energetic skills and less technology (which is designed to dumb down the user) 10. Election integrity guaranteed with voter identification, election day deadline for mail in ballots, polling booths locally located, and supervised by all parties 12. value system centred on self worth, self respect, self love, mutual love and respect.
Our school system should teach true history, basics of math, science, English, reading and writing, cursive. Pledge of Allegiance and prayer in school. Anything else, parents can teach.
Thank you, Dr. Alexander, for all that you do!! We have to return to God as a Nation and repent for all of our wicked ways!! We must turn away from all of our sins and humble ourselves before Almighty God!! Only then, will God forgive our sins and heal our Land, as the Bible teaches us in 2 Chronicles 7:14. God bless you and thank you again for all that you do!!! 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇲
The last couple of centuries in which we have attempted as human beings to engage in scientific inquiry without any acknowledgement of the transcendent. I have come to the conclusion that this is our point of departure from the possibility of wielding scientific and technological advances for good. If man is the measure of all things—- look where we end up. We always find ourselves in or near annihilation when we allow any human being to become deified. Is there an opportunity to re-establish scientific inquiry on first principles of the Judio-Christian ethos?
Regarding #12 … even an atheist can appreciate Christianity as a philosophy. This country was founded upon it, and it works for everyone, not just the religious. Just wanted to point that out, since not everyone believes in God and that’s okay. It’s not required. (Although I do highly recommend it, personally. 🙂)
1,2,3,5,6,7,9, and 10 are libertarian principles. I don't see how 7 is any different from 1.
What (real) libertarians believe about the others:
4. Standing armies lead to war. Always have. Men don't build things they do not intend to use. Our nuclear subs are enough of a deterrent. And it we are going to train soldiers, train them to be soldiers, not empathetic wussies.
8. Government should have no "technical policies".
11. Government should have absolutely nothing to do with education.
12. Libertarians disagree among themselves on the existence of a diety; the libertarian value system boils down to the nonagression principle. Mind your own business and pay your own way.

Freedom of speech in all the public squares.
protect the rights of families to raise children without requiring a central ideology
sustain and perpetuate the good things in life - music, movies, books, theatre, everything that has made life worth living for thousands of years
National sovereignty
Dr Paul. All of you have stepped up with bravery and conviction. Very proud of all of you
Unfortunately, the GOP does not adhere to those values.
One of your best posts so far! Thank you Dr Alexander!!!

It was fun while it lasted, real fun
My conservative world would be underpinned by trust and truth seeking.
We currently find ourselves at the other end of this spectrum.
Sounds like Pre-Epstein America .
