Sometimes, doing the right thing may not succeed, but you have to do it anyway. Libertarianism is probably such a cause. It may never succeed, because so few people really value freedom, but I will still support it, because I believe it is the right thing to do.
“Conservatism†is in no way synonymous with freedom. Part of the reason I support the right to keep and bear arms is so that the people will retain the ability to defend the freedoms—by force, if necessary—that “conservatives†would destroy under their ideal authoritarian and/or theocratic state. In my opinion, the petty fascism of American “conservatism†is just as dangerous as the casual socialism of American “liberalism,†if not more so.
I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again now. If gun owners want to protect their Second Amendment rights, they have to support other freedoms as well—including the ones they don’t like. As a start, stop attacking the First Amendment in your quest to eliminate “pornography,†“anti-Christian persecution,†“sedition,†etc. and the Fourth Amendment in your desire to protect us from “drugs,†“abortion,†“terror,†etc.
And if we can stop wasting our time trying to tell each other how to run our lives, then maybe we can do someting about our borders.
