At the 2011 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), "The Southern Avenger," Jack Hunter sat down with Campaign for Liberty's Kevin Brett to discuss the implications of communication technology for the liberty movement, crafting the message persuasively, and the continuing evolution of the liberty brand.

Sorry to disappoint you. But Reagan did not use the conservative tool in his years. He really tried and I'll give him credit for that. But in the end, rather using the tool he became one.

@shiftstart Reagan wasn't too bad about using it, that was less than 60 years ago :)

Liberty is an ideology, conservatism is the tool to make that ideology a reality. Unfortunately we haven't had anyone use the conservative tool properly or at all for the last 60 years.

Actually that's not entirely true what libertarianism is about. First, historically, social issues were never the main course of the American politics. Liberal started this myth back in the 60's to divide this country up as they infiltrated the GOP. Second, just because I have a libertarian view doesn't make me a liberal on social issues. After all, I can be both socially and politically conservative. The message of libertarian is simple.....leave me the hell alone.

Jack Hunter gave some very good insight in this interview. He was positive and mostly...... He was right on.

@ashleyjohnston Well a lot of Libertarians lead to a more conservative mind set, mostly because conservatism in markets is a very effective mindset :) That's what's great about libertarianism. Conservatism in government, liberal in social issues.
