Back in my libertarian days the leftists I argued with hated my guts.

Your non-negotiables sound like extracts from sharia law

That's funny.

Every leftist I've ever known considers libertarians the radical right!

>”Illegality of prostitution is non negotiable”<

It works in Northern Nevada. Outside of calling Libertarians “Liberals”, (which they are not), your other points are right on.

Legalized Prostitution is a simple Financial Transaction between an Employee / Business Owner and a Customer. Perhaps you should have included Legalizing Illicit Drugs is non negotiable instead, but even that point is up to debate. Alcohol (a drug) Abuse damages the Family and the Country, but making it Illegal didn't quite work out.

Just my Opinion. Liberals are the Left. They want to render the Constitution invalid.

Libertarians take the Constitution at face value. You could say they are Originalists, not Liberals.

Since I am a libertarin leaning conservative I'll have a go at your list.

Murder of the unborn is non negotiable. Libertarians completely agree with you, since there is no liberty without life. You can not be pro murder and a libertarian.

Age of consent laws are non negotiable. Mostly agree if the age of consent set at some reasonable age. My mother was married at 16 as were a lot of her friends. So anything over 16 does not seem reasonable to me.

Illegality of prostitution is non negotiable. Prostitution is legal in Nevada. I say leave this up to local government.

Controlling our borders is non negotiable.I completely agree, this issue is one that I (and Rand Paul) have serious problems with a lot of libertarians. "Open borders are incompatible with the welfare state" Rand Paul
