You have written the conundrum of the libertarians pretty well. I've tried to be libertarian a few times, but I always fail and fall back to just conservative because I'm a Christian. We have the right to demand government in the bedroom because God demands it.

A libertarian says you can do what you want as long as it hurts no one else, but homosexuality hurts America. Read Leviticus 18: 22. God will "vomit" us out of the land He gave us if we allow sexual abomination here. That affects me and mine. Many libertarians believe abortion is a woman's choice. It is murder, pure and simple. She doesn't have the right any more than I would have the right to kill all the Jews or murder blacks, just because I felt like it. Many libertarian ideas, I still hold, but to lose my moral compass for some false principled ideal, no can do.

Our Founders were conservatives, not libertarians as some would suggest. Many were ministers and even the so called lay person knew the Bible better than most preachers today. Our system was borne out of the Bible. Most libertarians aren't even Christians. God gives us plenty of rules and libertarians don't want ANY. The "new" movement in TV libertarians is a fad that will pass. It lures you in and then reality put it to the test and it WILL fail, as always. Republicans welcome them in, but then put them in the corner, like Rand Paul. Rand will not get more than 15% in the primaries. Beck is a man that woke up after alcohol and is searching for truth. He's close, but no cigar.

....” Beck is a man that woke up after alcohol,He’s close, but no cigar.”.....

Which is in part his problem that gets in the way of his retaining a convincing thought at times. HE’s close enough to Christianity to grasp what it is, but unwilling to let go of that which helped him overcome his alcoholism. Until he does he’ll remain a confused man uncertain of what he believes.
