Libertarians have stronger principle than conservatives

Alright, I will greatly enjoy this debate! Governmental Philosophy: As was addressed by my opponent the ideals of limited government are prevelant in both parties, yes admitably more so to the Libertarian side in terms of individual freedoms to choose whatever the h*ll they would like to. One paper this is a brilliant and appealing idea to any who seek refuge from the grips of a nanny state or tryanny. Initially this is the approach taken by the U.S. in it's founding as it was seen as preferable to any governmental power at all. This was a considerable failure. [1] This failure was attributed to a lack of governmental control, however that does not justify the liberal idea of a nanny state in any fashion. The Conservative belief in limited government is different than the libetarian belief yes, but for the betterment of society. "That said, during its short lifespan, the Articles of Confederation became increasingly ineffective at governing the continually growing American states. The main cause of this ineffectiveness stemmed from a lack of a strong, central government. From the absence of a powerful, national government emerged a series of limitations that rendered the Articles of Confederation futile." (Also from source 1). Thsi quote more than shows that the libertarian apporach to government is incohesive and ineffective due to the fact that the states grew without one another, which could've led to the complete dissolution of the Union. Defense System and the Military:One of the defining moments in U.S. History was Ronald Reagans "Tear down this wall" speach in Berlin. Had a libertarian principal of Defense Cutbacks (Rand Pauls Phrase?). Had we applied this attitude toward the Soviet Union at these defining moments of the Cold War we would've seen who knows how much of a changed world. Is it possible to see the military take control of the government? Yes. Will it happen? Probably not. The Reason why is because it is specifically stated in the Constitution that the Military is solely civilian controlled, not controlled by the ruling political party. [2] Conservative Strong Men v Libertarian Strong Men (Ted Cruz v Ron Paul, just an example)Men of Conservative Values such as Reagan are far more electable than Libertarians, why you may ask? The case certainly can be made for the fact that Libertarians are just a thrid party, but Ron Paul didn't seem to care at all. Now to my point, men like Cruz are wildly Popular in the country[3], why? Because they idealize the conservative values that this country yerns to return to, not the more Libertarian Values that the country seems to be wary of. [4] (Please bare with me this is actually the shortest polling result that I could find). In Conclusion: When it really comes down to Who has stronger principlas it is a good thing both sides are filled with Men and Women who believe that way, but when it comes down to the war of philisophically convincing the public of there views Libertarians are just to far to the radical right for a country that is already plagged by the yanking of Communist and Socialists on the Left to back throtled in the exact way to the right.
