If there's one positive thing that has come from this year's presidential election, it's that the divide between government and American citizens has been drawn for all to see. There is clearly an "us," and a "them".
What a wonderful opportunity for the ideas of Liberty.
You see, the "us" are having a rude awakening. Beliefs about government are being shattered left and right. The Fed can no longer hide in the shadows. The Keynesians are running on fumes. The media has been exposed as an arm of the government. The Neocons are trying to re-brand themselves. And Wikileaks has shown that politicians are nothing more than snake oil salesmen with armies at their command. Politics has lost its noble smokescreen.
This is all for the good. Government and its propaganda arms work around the clock to pull the wool over Americans eyes. Those who advocate freedom and liberty are ostracized as "fringe" and "kooks".
Well, now the propagandists have their backs against the wall. When false beliefs are shattered, new ones are often sought.
What a great time to be a pro-liberty!
Much too often though, the libertarian is overly focused with making instant converts. If the person that they're speaking to doesn't see and accept the truth right away, the libertarian too often throws up his hands and says "What's the use?" He then may go so far as condemning all of humanity as a lost cause that will never change. Tyranny will always prevail.
But this knee-jerk reaction couldn't be further from the truth. Change is the very essence of life. Constant and never-ending change is an absolute that we cannot escape.
Despite government walls constantly closing in on us, humanity is not a lost cause. People do in fact reverse course. Granted, it usually happens when the pain is overwhelming, but it happens nevertheless.
