Liberty Reborn

Yes, it’s true. We actually do get a rather sizable amount of email every day. So I thought I would delve into the old cyber mailbag and answer a few:

You call yourself a “libertarian conservative” what the heck is that?

Trisha,

A libertarian (true libertarian mind you) is a conservative (a true conservative mind you) and visa versa. We believe in liberty and the unalienable rights of all mankind which include life, liberty, pursuing happiness and property.

A lot of libertarians don’t like to be considered “conservative” – these are libertarians that really aren’t libertarian at all (i.e. those that believe that it is actually ok to murder living babies just because they are in the womb or who think that since they have their liberty they are under no obligation to promote it for others). I do not mind it. Lots of people call me a “conservative” even though I a lot more call me “libertarian”. I use the term “libertarian conservative” to make it clear that they are one and the same.

You often talk about how Social Security is unconstitutional could you explain what you mean?

Read the Constitution. Read the Federalist Papers for a definition of what Article I says about limited powers. Then tell me if you see anything in there about social welfare spending on programs like Social Security.

Have you made any decision yet on who you will support for President in November?

Not Hillary. Not Obama. Not McCain. Not Paul. Not the communist party, the socialist party or the green party. Other than that, I haven’t decided.

Rick writes:

Do you get a lot of hits from government sites?

Absolutely. Every day we get a ton of lookers from places like house.gov. Hi guys! We’re watching you watching us.

Douglas writes:

What can we do to save America from moving even further leftward?

Well, we could always just kick California, Washington and New York out of the union.

Gertrude writes:

If Hillary (or Obama) and McCain were tied in votes and you had the chance to cast the tie breaker to save us and put McCain in the White House would you?

Well, since the popular vote doesn’t decided the election this is preposterous. But let’s assume this were the case. No. I would not vote for McCain. If our country is in such bad shape that Hillary or Obama would get that many votes, my one vote wouldn’t “save us” in the long run.

I’ll just get in the hand basket and enjoy the last bit of the ride.

Have you ever thought about writing a book?

Yes. Actually I have three in the works but I have ADD so they never seem to get … oooh look … something more interesting!
