“The libertarian social agenda creates liberal voters who love the libertarian social agenda, and then vote themselves economics that makes it easier for them to live it.”

That doesn’t make any sense. Liberal economics makes it easier to live with the results of the Left’s social agenda. You seem to say that libertarianism is like a gateway drug to liberalism. They are indoctrinated with liberalism from an early age. Why would they need to explore libertarian philosophy, which would chip away at some of that indoctrination? Young people who take up libertarianism are far more likely to embrace conservatism.

Unlikely. I just don’t see it. If they embrace the social agenda then they are going to end up being 100 percent DNC supporters who call themselves ‘libertarian’.

It’s all about where they stand on social issues. A young person who is libertarian because he believes in constitutional protections like free speech, will in all likelihood become conservative, if he is exposed to conservative principles.

A libertarian who is a libertarian because of free dope and free condoms isn’t going to become conservative.

You are not at DU trying to persuade liberals to move right and support conservative economics, you are at freerepublic trying to persuade conservatives to move left, and embrace social liberalism.

The agenda of libers to destroy social conservatism nationally and in law, leads to a culture that breeds and creates more voters for the left in vast numbers.

It is the sweeping away of civilization and American conservatism with the libertarian social agenda that creates an endless wave of many MILLIONS of new, always more, permanent big government voters.
