Delightful read. Thank you.

The R’s are in their seventh year of unified government--House, Senate, Executive--enabling excess. For this I blame the D’s, supporting if not actively promoting policies and cultural issues I label “coastal” and way out in front of Iowa voters’ sensibilities. Turn WF Buckley’s maxim to our favor: “Nominate the most LIBERAL candidates that can be elected.”

Let’s get back to divided government which forces compromise and eschews nonsense and I suspect we will find Iowa hasn’t changed all that much. We are a better people than our politics would imply.

Keep up the good fight.

Thanks for this, Art. I hope you get some good time to clear your head and then we need you back here in Iowa.
