Which social issues? The only issue where I see conservatives and libertarians consistently going at in on FR is marijuana legalization. And on that issue you even had conservatives like William F. Buckley taking the libertarian position, so it’s not like it’s a total slum dunk one way or the other. But on issues like gay marriage or gays in the military I don’t ever recall seeing the libertarian taking the left’s side in anything close to significant number if at all. Can you link to one thread where FR was split over these issues?
LOL, yeah you are real credible, been here since 1999, never noticed those long argumentative threads caused by the libertarians, and now you want to switch to drugs.
You seriously missed all those threads on gays in the military, and gay marriage of the last couple of years, and those going back more than a decade?
The government out of marriage, the Rand Paul threads where he wants to drop social issues, you missed all those libertarian threads?
Do you recall ever having seen me on a thread discussing marriage, or gays in the military with libertarians?
When someone removes two legs of the conservative stool, or never had them in the first place, then they call themselves libertarian.
