I like the part about some people may agree with the LP on medicinal marijuana but not on legalizing heroin
Libertarians, like Republicans vary widely on their views. The Republican party has moved so far to the left the Republican platform looks more Democrat than Conservative. New Libertarians will make the LP more mainstream, but only if they let them join. To an old Goldwater Republican like me, that stupid loyalty oath keeps me from joining. I do not want open borders and I support the use of force when our survival is at stake.
I'm pro marijuana, but realize some things have to be controlled when they are a real problem, like meth. But, control of any problem should not take freedom away like the WOD does.
