The Liberty Agenda

There are some people that don't understand the concept of Liberty, and what it means to our culture, government and way of life. Many of these people mistakenly get wrapped up in party labels, pet issues, or the perceived social "good". I've promoted the Liberty agenda throughout most of my life, and have usually come across proverbial brick walls of stanch opposition from those who claim to believe in the supremacy of the individual, yet would rather not see their power, or pet projects sent to the trash heap. 

Yesterday, for me, this changed. I saw a room full of Liberty minded people literally overtake the Congressional District 5 GOP from hard liner party appratchiks. I saw Liberty minded people cry out that they would NOT support John McCain at the GOP national convention, to standing ovation. I saw dozens of libertarians who had been cynical and angry, actually make the change that they wanted to see in the world. Today the Hennepin county Republican Party is a better, stronger group that can help us move this nation in the right direction. There of course, is still much work to be done.

If what is happening here is happening in other places around the country, we have something to look forward to. To ensure that we can continue this Revolution of ideals, we must encourage the young and angry to get involved. We must show them that there is room for them in the the sphere of public discourse. 

Perhaps dissent is not so dead after all.
