As has been said before, liberaltarians don’t go to the DU to argue against their fiscal liberalism.

They come here to attack social conservativism. Why? Because they hate social conservatives more than they hate statists.

“And you haven’t”

Liberaltarians rewriting history claim that Reagan supported abortion, gay marriage, and free dope. All the things they support today.

“Yes, social conservatives are self-identifying with the Tea party movement, but it began and is sustained with conservative economic principles.”

And? You want to purge the Tea Party of social conservatives? You’re asserting that social conservatives aren’t economic conservatives? Neither is true.

“You hate libertarians more than you hate statism.”

As good ol’ El Rushbo states, “If you’re attracting flack you’re over the target.

I’m spot on here.

Go play in the DUmp and attack their fiscal liberalism. And make sure you vote for Obama again!

That's because they don't have anything in common with the DUmmies. If they went there, it would be only to troll.

Or maybe it's because they agree with conservatives on economic issues, but get attacked by YOU over social issues and respond in kind.

Your responses to me are a good example. All I did was point out that attacking libertarians wasn't a good idea, considering their common ground with conservatives on economic issues. You responded by attacking libertarians.

There is a common problem here: your behavior. When are you going to start accepting responsibility for it?

I haven't seen anyone claiming that Reagan supported these things. But, Reagan focused on economic issues. He wouldn't have made much progress on social issues anyway, since at least the House was always controlled by Democrats. He was able to build a coalition of Republicans and conservative Democrats to enact legislation.

There aren't many conservative Democrats left. They were either replaced by liberal Democrats, replaced by Republicans, or switched to the Republican party. But, even with the changes, the Republicans still don't have a enough support to take the Oval Office and the Senate. They have to build a coalition.

And? You want to purge the Tea Party of social conservatives? You’re asserting that social conservatives aren’t economic conservatives? Neither is true.

Did I say that? I said that the Tea Party was founded and was driven by economic conservative principles. Social conservative issues took a back seat in 2010, and Tea Party candidates did very well. They didn't do so well in 2012, but we are finding there were external influences. It will be interesting to see what happens in 2014.

I’m spot on here.

Keep those blinders on. You'll go right over the cliff.

Have a nice day.
