Of course, we don't need ridiculous infighting. The main attraction to me of Conservatism is its intellectual, moral and philosophical consistency, which are based in absolutes. The problem is that some self-proclaimed *conservatives* like to find loopholes or exceptions that are politically convenient (think Giuliani/2nd Amendment or Romney/health care for example).

Libertarians have a tendency to keep such people and their supporters honest.

I disagree. Libertarians just find different loopholes.
