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.
