Yeah, They’re “Libertarian” the Way Obummer is “Transparent”

My dear sirs, forgive me, but I fear most of that 19% who identify themselves as “libertarian” are like the majority of “Christians” I encounter. These folks never crack a Bible, seldom darken the door of a church, couldn’t tell the Ten Commandments from the Twelve Apostles, and think Genesis is a rock group. They neither acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord nor care anything about Him.  Likewise, far too many of the “libertarians” I’ve met want to smoke pot on their way to collect their EBT, or they “feel” sodomites should be “free” to “marry” one another–and if one of the happy couple decides to surgically change his sexual organs, they want you and me to pay for it. Believe it or not, a reader several years ago told me that one of the TSA’s thugs complimented him on his Ron Paul T-shirt and added, “I’m a libertarian, too!”

If indeed nearly one in five Americans loves liberty, how do we explain the horrific socialism, collectivism and fascism devouring us from the inside out? Tragically, Germans seem far more “libertarian” these days: while “libertarian” Americans damn Snowden as a traitor, Berlin rears a statue in his honor. (Thanks to Mark Luedtke for sending me this story.)
