The Exigent Duality
Everyone gets one deviation - 13:09 CST, 6/06/17 (Sniper)
In one camp, you have the old guard conservatives: the Mark Levin, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, perhaps even Rush Limbaugh. In another camp, you have the new breed libertarians: Stefan Molyneux, Lauren Southern, Mark Cernovic, Mark Dice. And never shall those two camps meet, even though they have 95% of their views in common, and are after the same ultimate goal of reducing State power.

Why?

I'll confess that I don't daily watch or listen to the former crowd, so I can't say for certain that they don't reach out or cover the latter group. But I can say that going the other way, other than a ten second clip of Jan Helfeld trying to catch Mark Levin's attention in a crowded hall some years ago, I never hear any mention of the old guard at all.

Yesterday, in preparation for an upcoming lunch with a conservative co-worker, I listened to the aforementioned Mark Levin's show from the previous Friday, and in addition to issuing a figurative "call to arms"-- boy does he agree with what I wrote here-- he stated that rather than the older crowd making fun of young people, constitutional conservatives should reach out to them.

Political power is all about forming coalitions. What a fearsome alliance that would be if these two groups could join forces! Imagine Lauren Southern plugs from Sean Hannity on national television, or Bill O'Reilly interviews via Alex Jones? What if Stefan Molyneux could start plugging Mark Levin's "Liberty Amendments" approach to his millions of listeners?

Or speaking of Levin, what about getting him and Tom Woods together? Those two should be best friends, both being great historians and Constitutional experts-- why have I never heard them speak together?

On a grass roots level, this would also get the retirement age, Tea Party, gun rights Constitutional people hanging out and working together with the Millennial libertarian types.
