Conservatives vs. Liberty

A couple of days ago, Alexander McCobin of Students for Liberty, applauded the inclusion of GOPround, a gay Republican group, at CPAC.  He was roundly booed, then cheered.  Following his remarks, Ryan Sorba gave an anti-gay rant.  Both have been broadcast on national television and have received plenty of attention in the blogosphere.  You can see the videos here.

The bottom line is clear: Many conservatives are not truly committed to liberty in any fundamental way.  Rather, depending on the issue at stake, they pick and choose the extent to which they incorporate liberty into their position.  I applaud Alexander’s courage in defending liberty despite hostile elements in the audience.  He serves as in inspiration to us all.  He is right.  They are wrong.
