If more conservatives sounded like The Southern Avenger then more conservatives would be getting my vote.  Like many other Socialists, Liberals and Conservatives I can find more common ground often on many issues with them over the booming Statist voices of Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck.

I first voted Libertarian in 2000.  I was fed up with the two party system.  I was finding a political philosophy strongly influenced by John Stossel on 20/20,  Robert Nozick and others like them.  At that time my political philosophy was in it’s infancy.  I had an extremely Liberal professor who liked to question the conventional wisdom and the patriarchy.  I believe those things together really started to get me questioning the 2 party system and what seemed like acceptable political alignments in this country.  I did not have the internet at first to find like minded individuals so I had to create them where I went.  I ranted and told others my philosophies slowly gaining like minded individuals that way.

The media was not going to promote Libertarianism over the Two Party system.  In 2004 I had my Badnarick bumper sticker on my car and was proudly supporting the Libertarian candidate.  It seemed like a loosing effort. Everyone was in the dark about libertarianism.  Then something wonderful happened.  Ron Paul’s Campaign.

FOX began to pick up some more libertarian voices.  These were people I could agree with more than ever.  Judge Napolitano got his own show and then they gave a John Stossel a spot on FOX business where he could have more of a voice and more control.  We see more conservatives rejecting the idea of the war and more clinging to actual small government concepts.  Small government is not no government, but minarchism and true free market principles are much closer to something I can vote for and agree upon.

Many of you may have already seen Jack Hunter The Southern Avenger on YouTube.  If not you need to check him out here.  The guys at Liberty Pulse brought to my attention an effort to get Jack Hunter National.  It is something we all should lend some support to.  I will throw my voice in to support someone like him getting a national voice.  Please go to here.

The more we can phase out the seemingly dominant voice in conservativism, the closer we will come to small government concepts being accepted.  Statelessness may be too much for some to swallow right now in a nation of total state control, but conservative minarchist and constitutionalist ideas may be something we can pull a country towards with the right media in the public eye.  Our biggest chance at that is to get more of a voice in the media and to educate people in those libertarian ideas.
