Part of doing it your way is to say that we're going to be the thinking minority for awhile, maybe able to hold on to the HOR. To do that, we have to accept those with libertarian views and accept that we'd rather have a Dem win than have a RINO doing their sabotage thing.

What's the main thing separating us from Libertarians? Abortion. If it's a issue that stays with the states, we can coexist on that issue.

“Abortion. If it’s a issue that stays with the states, we can coexist on that issue.”

The Right to Life is a Natural Right. The Constitution, in both the 5th and 14th Amendment respects that right, but doesn’t create it. It’s a Right that comes from our Creator.

Here’s the thing about libertarians and natural rights. Almost everything libertarians agree on about economics come from the men who framed the thoughts that we are free men, with Natural Rights not enshrined in government but granted to us from our Creator. It’s a concept that paved the way for our republic and the Constitution that libertarians love so dear. How can libertarians embrace this concept yet ignore its principle imports?

1. What makes you think the states have the right to outlaw a Natural Right when the fedgov doesn’t?

2. What makes you think that allowing the states to deny a human being a Natural Right is a compromise that we can co-exist with?

No.

The libertarians have enough in common with conservatives to join us in a big tent. I agree with you about that. Having said that, asking conservatives to throw down the long poles of their core beliefs is tantamount to knocking down any such tent’s core supports.
