What is Rand's goal? To make America a better place? Or to always follow his principles? Pragmatists care about the goal more than the means. Libertarians care more about the means than the goal.

Pragmatism > Libertarianism

Same practice of "conservatives" who never conserved anything but just kept rolling over giving ground.

I used to be a "Big L" libertarian then I became a small "L" libertarian after some LP nonsense, sometime after 2012 I started to get tired of such labels and just realized I prefer more order than chaos in my civilization and that pragmatism is far more practical and rational.

I like Rand, and his father, but Ron Paul could never do what Trump has done, Paul is too nice of a guy and would have been a Republican version of Jimmy Carter.

We needed a fighter and someone that would draw these monsters into the light so everyone could see them - Trump has done exactly that and so much more.
