In my opinion, and according to the platform of the Libertarian Party, the only purpose of a central government is the protection of individual rights. In a perfect world, this would encompass defending the USA from aggression internally and  from abroad, and controlling entry into our country of foreign nationals who pose a credible threat to the security, health, or property of USA citizens.

Our central government’s unwillingness to protect us from both internal and external threats would make the Founding Fathers, particularly TJ,  spin in their graves.  Spying on our citizens’ personal information, failure to protect us from identity theft, lack of visa control,  and specifically an unwillingness to protect our borders from the intrusion of those seeking to illegally enter the USA, are all examples of our government’s failure to protect our individual rights.   Let’s just shrug our shoulders as the American Muslims fighting on the side of the ISIS kooks in the Middle East return to our soil.  We have all but admitted that our visa control over these individuals, including those arriving indirectly through Europe,  is porous.

And it’s not just the Proglibocrat left that’s at fault, blatantly seeking future dependence and votes.  I’d love to return to a Conservative Republican fold, but for unknown reasons, there are no apparent Republican leaders willing to stand up and protect our liberties, our customs, and most importantly, our borders.                  WHAT THE HECK !
