All Libertarians and Conservatives really have in common is a pro-capitalism, limited (to varying degrees) government position. Foreign policy, all the social issues, we are at opposite ends of the spectrum. You will find the Libertarians with the Liberals there.

Baloney. I am Pro-Life, against the Gay agenda, for a strong national defense (which doesn't include the idiotic "nation building" liberal position Neo-Cons hold) and I am against the secular humanist indoctrination of children in public schools.

You want to believe what you wrote because it creates cover for your un-conservative drug prohibition position. You either support the Constitution in all circumstances or you don't. That is a conservative position.

“Baloney. I am Pro-Life, against the Gay agenda, for a strong national defense (which doesn’t include the idiotic “nation building” liberal position Neo-Cons hold) and I am against the secular humanist indoctrination of children in public schools.”

Pro-Life views can be consistently held in the Libertarian Party, IF they acknowledge the unborn to be an individual human being. Unfortunately the vast majority of the Libertarian Party apparently does not. I am glad you do.

I am unaware of how you could oppose the gay agenda from a strict Libertarian viewpoint, but I’d be glad to hear it.

As for defense, the classic Libertarian position as I understand it is akin to the Swiss: actual defense of our borders only. No treaties, no fighting for allies: for example, a Libertarian would not approve of WW1, WW2, Korea, VietNam, Desert Storm, or the current conflict. If you disagree with that I’d love to know why.

As for public schools, you probably oppose public schools, as do I.

Protecting life, marriage and national security all require action by the state.
