Too libertarian

This country isn't Libertarian enough.

I have come to the conclusion that many of the Founding Fathers foresaw the United States as an Authoritarian Christian Republic.

“Political tags — such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth — are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. The former are idealists acting from highest motives for the greatest good of the greatest number. The latter are surly curmudgeons, suspicious and lacking in altruism. But they are more comfortable neighbors than the other sort.”

― Robert A. Heinlein

"This country isn't Libertarian enough."

No, Libertarianism leads to nothing but evil. Freedom of speech, religion, the bearing of arms, of life, are already covered by our Founding Fathers. There is no need for libertarianism to safeguard them, because conservatism, the direct descendant of our Founding Fathers, already stands to guard them. What can libertarianism lead to? It can only bring about evil, phaux-freedoms like abortion, gay "marriage," prostitution, etc.
