Good point. There is nothing in libertarianism that conflicts with nationalism. Indeed a strong nation is the cornerstone to domestic liberty. The Libertarian Party's crackpot ideas on eviscerating our national defense, ending the war on terror, and open borders make no sense in terms of defending our liberty in the real world.

The problem is, as much as the LP likes to think they are purists, when dealing with people and politics, purity goes out the window the first nanosecond the Party exists. The problem is, with some of these issues, it's a certain faction's interpretation of what libertarianism that holds sway. Unfortunately, that's the kookier Harry Browne faction.
