Reply To: Why not Johnson-Weld (Libertarian candidates for President)

What a Rav wrote about politics almost two generations ago is irrelevant.

Today there is a serious movement to use government powers to coerce people to have fewer children (since less people means less carbon emission and the “holy grail” of the left is now “global warming), and to marginalize religious institutions that engage in politically incorrect behavior (such as teaching the homosexuality is wrong, or separate seating).

In a world in which those in powers want the government to “crack down” on religious groups such as our own, a libertarian approach which weakens the government is in our interests. A government that likes us would be nice, but avoiding one that hates us is a more pressing matter.
