It wasn't as though these self-described Libertarians wanted Obama to win. Well, actually, many of them did. But the majority of them wanted McCain to lose. They wanted Republicans to lose. Their victory was to let the country lose, to get that smug sense of self-satisfaction they were feeling

Well, it's pretty slick for the author to get inside the heads of celebrants, but McCain? McCain? Hello?

What the "anybody but a libertarian" crowd here does not apparently understand is that the main reason for moral decay in America is the size and scope of the federal governemnt. Getting a stupid fool like McCain to head it up changes nothing since there would be a token improvement or two more than offset by federal expansion into new areas. What difference does it make whether we quickly go down the California route under Hillary, or slowly under Christie?

I will vote Libertarian or better third party in 2016 given those choices.

Cuccinelli should have been elected governor here and I voted for him along with many other conservatives in my conservative part of Virginia. But don't confuse local politics with national.

The moral decay in America is caused by childish narcissism. The size of government is only a symptom of the me me me-ness that saturates our culture.

We’ve become a nation of overaged boys and little girls.
