Liberalism breeds liberal voters, not conservatives, social conservatism breeds conservatives.

I didn’t say that democracy is a good thing, I pointed out how idiotic and childish it is for someone to think that ending all border controls and all restrictions on morality and drugs and abortion and hookers and gay marriage and creating a Sodom and Gomorrah will result in the reduction of government and the ending of social programs, this is a democracy, all votes count the same.

Moving us left and finishing off our families and society and culture will result in the opposite of conservative goals for government and social programs.

“”You Can Thank a Few Rich Libertarians for Gay Marriage””

“How do you get rich Republicans to support gay marriage? By appealing to their libertarian sensibilities. The New York Times is out with its lyrical, 2,000-plus-word tick-tock of how the gay-marriage fight was won, and it centers on a meeting between Governor Cuomo’s aides and Republican donors. Amid tuna and turkey sandwiches a few weeks ago, the governor’s aides tested whether billionaire Paul Singer and hedge-fund managers Cliff Asness and Dan Loeb would be willing to support the cause. Surprisingly they were, since they were “inclined to see the issue as one of personal freedom, consistent with their more libertarian views.”
With their help (read: $1 million plus) gay-rights groups could tell the four Republican senators who took a leap of faith and voted yes to the bill that there’d be money to catch their fall.”

How can you seem to blame a tiny number of Libertarians for the destruction of Western Civilization? They are the most ineffectual political group in history. They have not even been able to win one Statewide election in forty years! Not one! If you put one hundred Libertarians in a room, they would call it a State Wide Convention. If they vote for anything, they must also include NOTO (none of the above) as the default choice.

Your jousting at Libertarians is as valiant as Don Quixote de Lamancha jousting at windmills, and just as deluded. All of the Libertarian positions and platforms are ineffectual at best and the only good thing they had was adherence to a principle that parroted "The Golden Rule" but for adults. Look for enemies where they actually exist.
