Where conservatives and libertarians agree: 2nd Amendment, Repeal of the income tax, abortion (mostly), smaller government.

Where liberals and libertarians agree: Pornography, homosexuality, drugs.

Now I ask you, which of these sets of issues are more important? My biggest problem with libertarians is that they can't 'back-burner' the piddling self-indulgence issues and help us defeat the left on the BIG issues.

Though, I do note that I wouldn't consider homosexuality, porn, and drugs to be "piddling self-indulgence issues," especially as I don't indulge in 2 of those 3. However, I think those issues are decided less in the political ring and more on the personal and social levels.

The only thing liberals and libertarians agree on is that homosexuality
shouldn't be legislated against, and even that's not really an agreement,
because the liberals want to give homosexuals special privilages.

Liberals are not against government interference with pornography or drugs.
They love legislating morality,
and they want to increase the size of government,
and laws against pornography and drugs further that agenda.

Of the topics you mention,
I believe that the "War on Drugs"
is the greatest threat to our freedom.
