RE: The Fundamental Problem of Natural Law Theory and How Consciousness Based Rights Solves it
Where you see fractured ideals in the GOP, I see an opportunity to reform them. The libertarian voices are the most consistent. They will continue to gain ground in the party, as they continue to lose ground to the communists in the DNC.
I read an article in The Austrian yesterday about Ron Paul's political career. What the Republican establishment, and the Bush's in particular, did in the late 90s to block his political career was really quite heinous. They even went so far as to convince a Democrat to switch sides to undermine his bid for the nomination. Yet, 15 years later, we had the Tea Party.
The reason it appears that the libertarian-minded within the GOP seem to always get betrayed is that the establishment still resists that. The establishment GOP still has a lot of power. I have no illusions about that. But we are gaining ground in that party. A few decades ago we only had Ron Paul. Now we have Rand Paul, Ted Cruz (not perfect, but an improvement), Nunez, Mike Lee, and many others. The constitutionalist/libertarian faction is still far from being dominant, but it is gaining ground.
