I am amazed that you guys keep pushing the left’s agenda, and never stop to think about what destroyed this country in the first place. How libertarianism was the crushing force that the left used to break up our communities.

How do you think the left overcame the natural, and enduring social conservatism of America, is it all about individual freedom from the left, of course not, just as it never was entirely true from the traditional America.

What changed was the balance between individual rights and community survival. America always had a conservative version of that balance, now there is a leftwing/libertarian version of the balance since the 50s/60s.

There is a reason that conservatives recognize libertarianism as the ramming tool of the left, first it goes for the soft under belly of conservatism and using activist courts, dismantles it’s moral foundation, then in the resulting vacuum, the left steps in and dominates the common space.

We never get the end to welfare and the economic theories, but we do get the end of necessary traditions and bonding community religious rituals, we do get the prostitution, the dope, the open homosexuality, and then while the streets burn, the left takes over the common space, and the good and decent lose it.

Restrain the courts and the straights will come back into power and control over “community standards”, and the left will recede back into the dark corners of life.

Interestingly, that will also result in smaller government, like it used to be, that is another contradiction of libertarian gains of the last 60 years, it resulted in more government, which was predictable to anyone with any sense.

Not seeing a consistent standard in there for opposing the nanny state on circumcision and happy meal toys - but supporting it for video games.

I know it is hard to defend an emotion based system with logic and a consistent standard - but zero points for not even making the attempt.
