“prevent them from ever working together.”

Horse****. Libertarians hate social conservatives more than they hate statism. We see it over and over again. They always side with the statists.

Has it ever occurred to you that the reason libertarians hate you more than they hate statism is because the way you treat them? Are you so sure it is because of policy disagreements, or is it because you are such an ass?

They always side with the statists.

I doubt that. As an example, I'll use the recent vote in the House to defund the NSA's indiscriminate data collection. It was authored by Justin Amash, considered one of the "libertarian Republicans" in the House. Do you think warrantless collection of vast amounts of data on people not suspected of any crime isn't "statist"?

In all fairness, the leadership of both parties, and Obama, came out against the bill, and in the end enough of the "establishment" politicians from both parties voted against it to kill it. So, it was really a "bipartisan" defeat.
