Libertarians are anti-Christian, as far as their positions on the issues. Why waste time debating them on a subject when we've been warned, "the fool has said in his heart, 'there is no G-d'." Do what you want, but as for myself, I'm not about to take advice and counsel from the ungodly, and I'm sure not going to abandon the GOP for some stillborn quest that results in the Democrats, the least conservative alternative, becoming even more empowered. I've heard all their arguments, which can be boiled down to this: "we are not Republicans, we are not Democrats, we are the only ones who know how to correctly interpret the Constitution." If it puts Dems into office at the expense of Repubulicans, it ain't no plan for conservative victory, no matter how you slice it.....

Well Malcolm, you may be right. But the article highlights an important point about libertarianism. The size of government is related to the need society has for it. The more teenagers get themselves pregnant outside wedlock, the more businessmen do false accounting and the more mixed up kids shoot up schools, the greater demand there is for regulation, welfare and gun control. I agree with libertarians about nearly everything, but I am a conservative because I recognise this.

If you want to end state control, you need to reinforce self-control and moral responsibility. The article sums up my own view perfectly.
