Why, yes, focus on the fringe differences....Don’t bother worrying about the elephant in the room, so to speak, on the basics: smaller Constitutional gov’t, lower taxes, Rule of Law and FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM.

Naw, worry about the stoners (even the recreational users), the gays (and WHY is gov’t in the biz of marriage?), pulling back our troops where they’re not wanted/needed), etc.

It’s amazing, when the man-power is needed, what some in the Conservative wing focus on to dismiss a large swath of like-minded peoples.

Focus and join on the major points and battle the little bits LATER.

Amen. Palin, Reagan, Thomas Sowell, and Walter Williams all know (knew, in the case of Reagan) better than to buy into the Libertarian-as-Stoner-Loser template, as assinine in its way as the MSM Republican-as-Redneck-Meanie template.

This is what it's about: restoring our rights to self determination within the framework of Judeo-Christian values enabled by smaller Constitutional gov’t, lower taxes, Rule of Law and FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM. The way the Founders intended.

Sadly, most people, even here, would run howling back to their chains if they had a choice between them and Liberty.

Even now, they live in denial of the depth of tyranny which we have, and the looming totalitarianism--so much so they think this can be fixed by voting for the people who have helped craft it.

They have no concept of freedom, nor the ability to live a moral life without myriad legal constraints and value the illusion of security far too much to leave the fenced in plantation they live on.
