Eh, I’m a large L libertarian so I’m sure many of my views would be viewed as radical. I’m good with that. I’d like to think that the republican party is the true big umbrella party...where there’s room for all.

BE CAREFUL! Evidently today, space is getting tight.

I didn’t see a thing that hschliemann said that was worthy of suspension or banning but then again, I’m not a Mod.

I’d like to think so too. I’m a Christian and a conservative. People tend to judge too much by labels though. I would think that the libertarians tend to underestimate how much of the philosophy of liberty ties ultimately to a Christian culture and a culture respectful of tradition (where that tradition stems from English freedoms), and I think that “values voters” sometimes loses sight of the forest of things that we agree with libertarians regarding because of the “trees” on which we disagee.
The problem I’ve had lately is that the elites (who consider themselves men of the world and pragmatists — and are actually often just corrupt, cowardly, or misled) have captured the party again, while idealogical Christians, Conservatives and Libertarians have been pushed to the side.
