When you consider their position on open borders, pedophilia, abortion on demand, legalized drugs, etc., it's very plain they have very much in common with the Democrats.
And when you consider Rino positions on big brother government, - it's very plain they too have very much in common with the Democrats.
Politics make strange bedfellows, and small 'l' libertarians side with liberty.
When you consider their position on open borders,
Close them. It's tresspassing. Of course, Bush hasn't done a lot to close the borders either. An unfunded Border Fence isn't exactly what we were looking for.
pedophilia,
Is rape. A child cannot be said to have the life experience or maturity to consent to such acts with an adult. Treat it as rape. Punish it with the death penalty.
abortion on demand,
If it's human, it is murder to kill it.
legalized drugs,
Only hurts the user. Any other "social" costs are only there because of all the socialist "safety nets" we have put in place to protect people from their own stupidity. Let Darwin have them.
etc., it's very plain they have very much in common with the Democrats.
Except respect for private property Rights, individual Rights, laissez-faire capitalism, "taxation is theft", pro-RKBA, and smaller government? Yeah... whatever...
A lot of those early hits are for DailyKos' version of libertarianism, which is a bit more leftist than typical libertarianism, just as the FR version is often more to the right. Still, you're right that there are a number of libertarians who prefer the Democrats due to their greater distaste for the theocrats who hold such sway in the Republican party.
pedophilia
A Republican specialty these days.
