YOu are playing with words here, I expected better of you. libertarians are not libertines. Stop playing games.

libertinism Definition of LIBERTINE
usually disparaging : a freethinker especially in religious matters or: a person who is unrestrained by convention or morality; specifically : one leading a dissolute life

____________________________

libertarianism
Definition of lib·er·tar·i·an
an advocate of the doctrine of free will or a : a person who upholds the principles of individual liberty especially of thought and action Or capitalized : a member of a political party advocating libertarian principles

I will tell you that after years of trying to make Republican conservatism work I am really looking forward to connecting with libertarianism. It works for me and I am happy to extend a hand across the aisle to people on the other side who are just as tired of this military adventuring and loss of freedoms at home.

Frankly if the Republicans have lost me, Chickensoup, they are in trouble, for I am so average in so many ways. I was their base.

A definition of what libers call freewill and personal liberty is gay marriage, gay military and adoption and immigration, abortion, open borders, and all the most coveted goals of the left in regards to conquering America.

Read this for instance, perhaps it sounds good to you until you think deeper.

“”Sexual orientation, preference, gender, or gender identity should have no impact on the government’s treatment of individuals, such as in current marriage, child custody, adoption, immigration or military service laws.””

“libertarians are not libertines. Stop playing games.”

I would argue that advocacy of gay marriage, abortion and polygamy is libertine. ie, tending to the removal of moral restraints on society, places one firmly on the libertine side.

“to make Republican conservatism work”

Then stop, and go where you want to go. We need people who are willing to fight for traditional marriage and fight to save unborn children. If that’s not you, well, there’s a whole different party out there that will suit you.
