What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
An inclination to rule exclusively to one's own favor despite the consequences of the society as a whole, therefore the Founders, in their wisdom, put in place a constitution that would have a division of powers that would give smaller groups and entities a substantial say in the government and that would also respect the natural rights of individuals even in the face of majority opposition.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a life-long Christian, and my values are primarily based on the Biblical books of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John, and the Acts of the Apostles.
Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?
Somewhat Conservative
Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.
I have opposed Common Core vigorously and publicly in recent years, as I am a firm believer in local control of public schools. Also, I have never wavered in my pro-life stance since I started my political career in the 70's (the Minneapolis Star Tribune has me on record as pro-life in a 1986 letter to the editor when I ran for Congress in the 5th District of Minnesota), and I have stated publicly on my blogs and websites that our country should be largely anti-interventionist when it comes to world affairs. I am a stalwart social conservative, and a populist when it comes to economic issues.
