Libertarianism doesn’t need a prominent politician, it is a corroding factor as it supports the left on social issues and fights to move the GOP to the left, and of course the Warren Court which has been hailed for it’s libertarianism.

That is why Reagan was a conservative and not a libertarian, and why even while running for the presidency and being interviewed by libertarians in 1975, he tried to win them over to conservatism, and told them how he was a social conservative and strong on defense.

Reagan was no libertarian, that is why the best election libertarians ever had, was against Reagan, in 1980.

So, what do you have to show for your efforts in the last 40 years except the results you’re trying to blame me for and a big fat tyrannical government. Like I said, your work sort of sucks.

The Founding Fathers were clearly libertarian unless you want to tell me revolutionaries embarking on a form of government that had never before been attempted were somehow “conservatives”
