Libertarians are not the enemy of Conservatism. Libertarianism is a “big tent” party. I know lots of libertarians who are pro-life, and pro-family. The vast majority of the tea party libertarians fall into that “conservative” libertarianism. The drug legalization, gay marriage, prostitution wing of the libertarian movement is a minority. Yes, they sometimes scream the loudest and get a lot of attention like at CPAC, but I would wager even the majority of the Paul-bots subscribe to conseravtive values. Recently, several GOP leaders have spoke out harshly against the libertarian influence in the GOP and in the tea party movement. If Life is your hot button issue you need to make the point that their is nothing libertarian about aborting another human being, if gay marriage is your hot button you nee to make the point that there is nothing libertarian about enacting federal and state legislation to further regulate marriage or give special rights to protected classes. The GOP cannot win big without libertarian support. They agree with us 90% of the time and they will never be a large enough portion of the GOP to make their wackier ideas a part of the agenda.
There can be no compromise with the anti-life people. Libertarianism has entirely too many of them for comfort.
