If there’s so much difference, why is it all you here the overwhelming majority of libertarians harp on is free love and free dope? Because that’s what they care about. They so high and screwed up that everything else is a paranoid delusion, hence the fixation on the conspiracies and the anti-Semitic rantings by Ron Paul and is attraction for the radical anti-war nuts.
I mean, these nuts regularly worship at the altar of the lunatic fringe leftist mantra that drives whack-jobs Cindy Sheehan and Code Pink, for goodness sake!
Is that what we want in the GOP? Not I.
First off, whose poll are you referencing that shows an :overwhelming majority of libertarians" harping on anything? Would that possibly be the libertarians you are personally acquainted with?
Because, as you are probably aware, the national opinion polls studiously avoid offering a "libertarian" classification for those who choose to participate.
You're either a conservative or a liberal or a moderate. Fewer labels make the numbers come out right.
Next, paranoid delusions are symptomatic of too much coffee, alcohol and partisan activism. I would venture that there are more Democrats afflicted than Republicans, but the numbers are always changing depending on the crisis and who's to blame. You think self-identified libertarians are conspiracy mongers? LOL! We have quite a few threads right here on FR that could just as well have come from the Star or the Weekly World News for the made-up factoids that gullible FReepers take as honest-to-gosh truth!
And again we have the "anti-Semitic" accusations against Ron Paul and his supporters. I can fully understand the confusion that may exist when you see photos posted to this forum with Ron Paul shaking hands with a white supremacist (who I'm certain was not introduced to him as such) and columns by antagonists demanding his campaign (gosh, this was almost four years ago!) return donations given by members of racist, anti-Semitic groups.
But you know, Ron Paul does not have an anti-Semitic bone in his body. One of his staunchest supporters over the years was Burt Blumert, a Jew who I knew personally and thought the world of just as Dr. Paul did. Ron Paul is of course a Christian, but his faith does not affect his votes in Congress. I worry very much about politicians who seem to let their millennial longings sway their politics. Let's just say it's fine to have religious faith and not so fine to be a slave to it (and I am not thinking of rituals or customs, but more like "prophesy") when the nation's welfare is at stake.
Your last paragraph could have been written by the Rev. Phelps. Perhaps if you send it to him he'll use it?

You paint with an overly-broad brush...
It does not help your argument, rather it undermines it...
