Except he got fat again.
I've been hearing this line quite a bit lately on FR. It's easy to talk tough with no election on the line.
RIGHT ON
If these liberaltarians like gay marriage so much, let them stump for it in the Libertarian Party.
I consider my self a conservative. Let me reply to some of your assertions.
I think Roe v. Wade was a bad decision. Put it to the people.
The only people who will gain by gay marriage are divorce attorneys.
I don’t think we should send ONE of our soldiers into harm’s way with the current rules of engagement. You go to war to win.
I’m pro LEGAL immigration.
I don’t believe someone should do hard time with rapists and murderers for a bag of weed.
I believe the constitution means what it says. I don’t believe in “penumbras and emanations”.
I believe in small government as laid out in the constitution.
I believe in low taxes.
I believe people should be able to make decisions about themselves for themselves.
I don’t care what kind of sex you have, just keep it where it belongs and stay away from kids and animals and you won’t have a problem with me.
Does that make me a libertarian?
Huck is a RINO
Says who?
Hey, I'm half libertarian. The half the doesn"t go along with liberalism.

I don't have time to read you manifesto right now, so I'll help you out with two very simple questions:
Do you believe that President Ronald W. Reagan was (and is) a Conservative role model?
Do you accept the fact that Libertarians and Conservatives are two different types of Republicans?
If you correctly answered "YES" to the second question, then the rest of your post is illogical. I'm not a Republican, but of course I would welcome Libertarians into the Republican Party. They share many good ideas with Conservatives. All Conservatives reject Libertarians from Conservative politics and the Conservative Party. Not because we hate you guys, but because many of your beliefs are incompatible with Conservatism. There's no need to take it personally.
BTW, if the correct answer to the first question is "YES" (I'll save you some trouble -it is), then the answer to the second question is always "YES" too.
There's no defense for that.
Let's put it this way, if we want some sort of "big tent" Conservatism that's filled with socialists, communists, trotskyites, free credit types, nazis, homosexual activists and all the other sort of leftwingtards, then it's not going to be Conservative.
Unless you can figure out how to fix your problem, real Conservatives are simply going to ignore you.
Sorry, but I don’t, and won’t, support anyone who isn’t pro-life, and who supports the gay agenda of forcing the rest of us to accept the validity of their lifestyle through public, civil endorsement of it.
If that makes me a “theocrat” then so be it.
Now, because I just posted this, a couple of nutjob libertarians are goging to claim that they personally reject some or all of those positions
I couldn't be less interested in how much of a libertarian you are personally. But thanks for playing.
She's gone now. Time for new leadership at CPAC, or maybe we simply need a new organization.
I could be wrong, but I would not group anyone one of those people that you list as “Social Conservative Socialist” by anyone’s standard. I happen to agree with his point... Huckabee is a social conservative and a big government hack.
For the last time, I'm not here to defend Mike Huckabee. If you were not aware of the many ways that Abraham Lincoln ignored the Constitution, abused government power, and trapled trampled on personal liberty, then you need to go back to HS and take a history class. If they still teach history in HS, that is.
You’re part of the Militia donchaknow.
There can be no compromise with the anti-life people. Libertarianism has entirely too many of them for comfort.
None of them are Social Conservative Socialists like Huckabee.
Maybe Teddy Roosevelt for his era.
Yes, you do need to get lost if you believe in big government.
It's NOT LIKE NEW YORK CITY FUR SHUR.
I think sometimes hillbillies really do need to be ridden down the road a piece so they can find out what words really mean.
My advocacy for "free bus rides for hillbillies" should not be taken as a sign I'm soft on government subsidies.
The Huck is not in office and isn't running for office.
You can't use the words if you don't know what they mean.
Libertarians, it seems, are big on misinterrpruting quotes to serve their political purpose. Personally, I agree with everything Dr. Robinson's saying here (I can't believe I'm FINALLY pouring over JR quotes for enlightenment...). Jim's Point is the same one every Conservative is making: We agree on many issues, like smaller government and less taxes. Unfortunately we disagree completely on several others (some that are just as important to us).
BTW, Jim also said this (I can't believe I got the chance to use it so soon):
Ron Paul and his flaming antiwar spam monkeys can Kiss my Ass!!" -- Jim Robinson, 09/30/07
I like the social moderates. I never had any use for extreme religious zealots whether they are jihadists, hindu extremists who assassinated Gandhi, jews of the Kahane follower kind or the Christian crusaders.
In practical terms, the religious focus of our leaders hardly affects me.
However their fiscal irresponsibility affects my every day life. Such as where I can live, where kids can afford college, what foods I can afford etc etc etc.
Which is why I am to the right of Attila the Hun when it comes to fiscal conservatives.
