Video: Romney aide cordially invites media to kiss his ass

No one should conflate libertarian with libertine. Libertarians are quite strong believers in the rule of law; it is the rule of law which protects individual property rights, which is the bedrock principle of libertarianism. Individual property rights means the right to do what you want on your own property, to do what you want with your own money, and to make your own money in the way you want—so long as it doesn’t infringe on someone else’s property rights, i.e., you can’t sell your neighbor’s property to make money for yourself; you can’t enslave someone to make money for yourself, and you cannot do anything to intentionally injure someone else, thus depriving that person of their individual “property” rights.

Rand Paul and others who really ARE the Goldwater legacy really need to do some educating within the GOP; libertarians are the true representatives of conservatism, not “social conservatives,” who never met a law they didn’t love, or a government diktat they wouldn’t support, if it suited their agenda of totalitarianism according to their religious rigors. They are no different from progressives in that respect. Conservatives who are libertarian in their principles don’t waste our blood and treasure on wars of political choice–like G.W. Bush and Dick Cheney did with the support of every non-thinking pseudo conservative who call themselves a “social conservative.” And, they don’t seek to use the courts to make activist law, either, thereby expanding government and stealing revenues to oversee the new programs. And, they don’t seek to expand government to “keep Americans safe,” ala “Dept. of Homeland Security” either, like G.W. Bush did; or to promise giveaways to certain voting constituencies like the “Medicare Reform” big government giveaway to Seniors.

No, libertarian conservatives know full well that expanding government in order to “keep people safe,” or to “provide for their security” or to entitle them to protection from the state, is just a euphemism for taking their money for other purposes, and for enslaving them through GOVERNMENT PATRONAGE. It’s no different from a plantation–the slaves are kept in prison, and the masters provide for all of their needs, anyone who doesn’t like it, well, you don’t have that option, now do you?

I still hold Reagan responsible for polluting the Republican Party with the poison of the “moral majority” which is today’s “social conservative.” It’s been a very sad few decades watching the GOP morph into the MULLAH party of today.

I had hoped that if Romney won, we’d finally be able to shed ourselves of these “meddlesome priests.”
Alas, we were defrauded once again, and the result is the DICTATOR and TYRANT OBAMA. Like Caligula, he is terrorizing an entire world with his psychotic narcissism and ego.
