How will you advance the cause of liberty?

I address this question to our Social Conservative and National Security Conservative brethren:

How will you advance the cause of liberty?

I have heard much about how we apostate libertarians have forgotten our natural allegiance.  Most recently, Mr. Soren Dayton posted on this subject.  Apparently, some still claim that allegiance to the Republican party, even in its current dismal state, is still the best vehicle for a liberal agenda. Some would even say that their is synergy between SoCon and Nation Security Conservative causes and libertarianism.

I beg to differ.

There is an old saying: "Put five libertarians in a room together, and you end up with ten factions." To a certain extent, this is true.  There are some libertarians who support the War on Drugs.  There are some libertarians who support border fences. There are some libertarians who support any number of things that most don't, and many have clear rationales based on libertarian philosophy.  Unlike some of our recent allies, we don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.  That is our (possibly only) strength.  Whatever our occasional differences, we do stand together on one non-negotiable concept: freedom.

Without acrimony, I will list what I believe are major aspects of Social Conservativism that are incompatible with libertarianism:

Support for the Drug War

Support for Anti-Gambling legislation

Support for Anti-Pornography legislation

Support for Anti-Alcohol laws.

Support for religious tests for public office (not sure anyone really overtly supports this, but people sure pay lip service to it.  "Oh my Lord!  He's a Muslim!  How did he ever get elected?!")

Support for school prayer, Ten Commandments legislation, adding "under God" to the Pledge of Allegiance, and any number of other strictly Christian religious laws and sical changes. How can we say liberal social engineering is bad when "our" side engages in the same?

As to National Security Conservatives, I won't bother to list.  Almost their entire agenda has the unfortunate effect of decreasing liberty, sometimes to a staggering degree.    

So, I repeat the question: How will you advance the cause of liberty?

It has been said that the Republican party is now "in the wilderness."  Well, guess what?  Libertarians have been in the wilderness FOR A LONG TIME.  We were fooled by rhetoric and a few token sops to believe that we were part of a team.  We were wrong.

I know that some folks will point to economic policies as the great uniter.  Sorry, no.  To my mind (and I think I speak for many of my fellow libertarians), social liberty and economic liberty go hand-in-hand.  Increase freedom and I will naturally have many more opportunities to prosper.  Heck, just letting a guy smoke his joint instead of locking him in a cell gives him greater economic freedom.

Well, we are now at a place where we can really help each other out.  Tell us in clear, concise terms how you will support our causes. We understand that we can't have everything.  Even REAL compromises would be a great first step.

Help us, and we will help you.  We can ALL get out of the wilderness.
