What I would say to libertarians is this: Liberty requires a responsible citizenry, and the sexual revolution (very much like the drug culture, which was and is its Doppelgänger) promotes irresponsibility of every kind.

Very true. People who really want fiscal conservatism will have to also accept social conservatism. You cannot have the first without the second.

My big fear with libertarians is that they are simply Liberals -- they want the socially Liberal policies first and foremost, and if they end up not getting fiscal conservatism [shrug] its no big deal to them.

On Monday morning everybody’s talking about the “incompetence” of the coach on Sunday. Where were you in October, September? The “incompetent” campaign lasted long enough to give you plenty of opportunities to point out this “incompetence”. Who’s incompetent now?

Yes. What I’ve been saying here for years. Social conservatives need to understand the market and libertarian principles. Charity involves people helping other people, it does not involve letting the government take over, because they will inevitably use human “welfare” as a means of collecting votes, and even of encouraging stupid immoral behavior, which will result in more voters trapped on their political plantation.

And libertarians need to understand the necessity of moral rules and behavior. Without religion to impart morality and encourage solid families and communities, society breaks down into chaos. One cannot say too often that there is a necessary choice: there must be either freely chosen self-discipline, or discipline imposed arbitrarily by the state—which will devolve into the Gestapo.

That’s the basic principle. Also obvious in the past several elections that the leftist press does its best to split the conservative opposition and set them against each other. Libertarians seem especially subject to this maneuver. We had enough votes to win every election since the time of Reagan, but we didn’t—because the libertarians, the financial conservatives, and the social conservatives just couldn’t agree to work together.

Now, I’m not sure. I think we still have enough conservatives to win if only they would get their heads out of the sand and join forces—but the battlefield is getting tougher and tougher. And the Democrats have continually beefed up their ability to cheat at the polls and use crazy, crooked judges to bend the law.

On August 7 Romney indicated that he would support an “audit the Fed” plank in the GOP platform.

The election was essentially over at that point. The entire machine will never allow this to happen, and thus the stars aligned to end Romney. And so it was, and it was not even close.

The ruling class decided that Zero would get his 2 (Or 3 or more) terms before 2008. That’s why McCain scuppered the election and Romney did too. They never intended to win and did everything possible to avoid it.

There are many reasons why Mitt Romney lost in 2012. Some, as I suggested in an earlier post, were his fault. Some of them were not. One of the latter is that the demographic deck was stacked against him in a fashion that it was not stacked against Ronald Reagan in 2008. If we do not find a way to reverse the sexual revolution, we are doomed. The future of liberty is contingent on the success of the social conservatives. The libertinism that some libertarians ostentatiously embrace provides the growth in the administrative entitlements state with its impetus. If to be a libertarian is to favor political liberty, then libertarians must embrace social conservatism. If to be a libertarian is to embrace sex, drugs, and rock and roll, then libertarians are the proponents -- whether witting or not -- of the soft despotism that threatens to engulf us.

Yep, everyone's vote is equal, the more social liberal we become, the larger and more powerful that government becomes, and the larger that voting bloc becomes.

Social liberals don't vote for the greater good, for a distant future that won't happen until they are dead, they vote for what they can take, today, now, and the more broken and weak they become, then the greater their wants, and greed.

All these arguments about “demographics” is a construct by the left to furthur advance their policies. Proof of that pudding of puke is the eagerness of the media to latch on to it and promote that concept to the general public. In a serious effort to disuade the argument and they are doing a good job..

Romney violated the first articles of campaigning. Policies affecting “Bread and Butter issues”
