David Harsanyi on Why Rand Paul is Right About Christians and Libertarianism

Last week, Rand Paul argued that a dose of
libertarianism not only would help the GOP broaden its base but
also would be philosophically compatible with socially conservative
values. “Libertarian and liberty doesn’t mean libertine,” he
explained.

Paul might have added that libertarianism isn’t synonymous with
“being uncharitable” or “selfishness” or “social Darwinism,”
either, suggests David Harsanyi. He might have argued that
libertarianism would do a lot more than just help orthodox
Christians politically. It may even be the most conducive political
philosophy for their thriving.
