Yes, that would be an improvement. But the way libertarians denigrate real conservatives, we wouldn’t miss the abuse from the Left.

And vice versa, from what I see here on FR. But history shows that political abuse is by nature an inherent part of human political action.

Even America's founders weren't shy about abusing their political opposition.

I'm very libertarian but I like to say that I became a conservative on 9/11. My libertarianism is not of the "tear it all down" variety, but rather of the Constitutional / States Rights variety.

Remember that libertarians are "this close" to being anarchists (those dregs that call themselves anarchists today are really just more Marxists giving anarchists a bad name).

Of course, none of this excuses many of the Ron Paul supporters who act like liberals. Our differences, after all, are way less than our commonalities vs. the left.
