I’m not single, I’m not young, I’m not inexperienced. I’m responsible, I have a respectable IQ, pay local, state, and fed taxes, I’m pro life, pro traditional marriage, pro 1st, pro 2nd, conservative, and libertarian.
I am a registered Republican. I’m Christian. I normally vote Conservative Republican. I do not belong to the Libertarian Party because the platform is whacked and driven by ignorance. Publicly, Conservative Republicans like Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and Sarah Palin best represent my views. And yes, I’m a conservative libertarian.
What I am not is liberal like Rand Paul is on immigration and apparently the social issues. And yes, I’m a conservative libertarian.
It is not about conservatives vs libertarians. It’s about conservatism vs liberalism. I am a conservative libertarian, not a liberal libertarian.
Distinguishing libertarianism from liberalism shouldn’t be perceived as a threat to conservatism. You seem to think the two are intrinsically intertwined. I don’t which I illustrate with a simple diagram on my FR page. I am like the Founding Fathers, a conservative libertarian.
I respect your views, ansel12. But express them without attempting to frame my character. I am a conservative. I am a libertarian.
I have other things to attend to, and prefer not to spend any more time on this issue.
FRegards.
This is silly, libertarianism is a pro-abortion, pro-gay belief system, those issues are among their political goals.
It doesn’t matter what YOU are, only what libertarianism is, it is a political movement that wants to defeat conservatism.
Since you reject libertarianism, you should rethink claiming you are one.
The people who created this nation were not libertarians and they were not pro-abortion and for homosexual equality, they were conservatives, and social conservatives.
The founding generations would never have accepted gay marriage in the military, or in immigration and federal employment, and abortion on military bases, and homosexual soldiers, the removal of God from public spaces and our culture, they were not libertarians.
