No, the four principles are in no way requirements to join a coalition. They are my own opinion of requirements to call one’s self a conservative.

Reagan’s coalition had libertarians in it who didn’t ascribe to the traditional values principle and Democrats who weren’t that worried about the size of government. But they were all weary of the Carter presidency and suffering from a misery index that was way too high.

I've started noticing the term "Liberty Conservatives" and even "Liberty Republicans" used to describe small "l" libertarian-leaning conservatism. That way you don't have to waste time getting into a whole argument about the differences between "Libertarian" and "libertarian".

Personally, I like the sound of it.

Sarah’s view on the war agains the IslamOfascists is the same as Bill Kristol, John Bolton, and other good Americans.

Ron Paul thinks Ahmadinejad and a nuclear Iran is no threat and we are looking for the boogie man so he says.

Thank goodness Sarah Palin is not in this libertarian - left wing progressive camp of cut and run.
