The track record of the Libertarian Party is not encouraging. I’m really not sure that a lot of people want legal drugs and legal prostitution.

Libertarians tend to be fiscal conservatives (good) and social liberals (bad). Socially liberal ideas tend to cause enough difficulties in people’s lives that they start looking around for government charity to rescue them. That’s when fiscal conservatism goes out the window. Social liberalism is always “more important” than fiscal conservatism.

I will stay a Conservative. And I will vote for Ted Cruz.

Good point about legalized prostitution. Do we really want to raise our little girl to sleep their way up the corporate ladder when they grow up?

There's a world of difference between the "big-L" Libertarian Party and a "small-l" libertarian.

For example, most historians agree that Thomas Jefferson would properly be described as a libertarian -- that is a "classic liberal". But I'm quite sure he'd take issue with much of the Libertarian Party platform.

(Damned Liberals misappropriated the word. They're actually leftists, socialists, and communists. And nuts.)

The freedom to eat what one chooses causes health problems in many people’s lives and leads them to start looking around for government charity to rescue them. Is a Diet Police a conservative idea?
