      <![CDATA[Gerson sounds reasonable till he jumps the "what about the children" shark.  "What does a narrow, anti-government conservatism have to offer to urban neighborhoods where violence is common and intact families are rare?"
    
    How about law and order, school choice, and an elimination of incentives to split up families?
    
    
    "What hope does it provide to children in foreign lands dying of diseases that can be treated or prevented for the cost of American small change? No hope." 
    
    How about Free Trade, Open Markets and respect for the property rights of the poor?
    
    The government can form a framework where people can use their own good judgment to make rational choices about their well-being, then staying out of the way of charity in fixing social issues.
