Considering I have spent entire evenings watching conservatives debate conservatives about the definition of a "real" conservative, I find your point rather superflous. I have asked posters on this thread to try not to insult each other, but to find common ground to help undo the federal behemoth. So far, conservative and libertarian posters have agreed that a federalist approach is something we can work together on. That there is merit to laws that deal with a harm threshhold (such as DUI), and not just actual harm itself - a significant alteration of hard-core libertarian thought, and one that puts it much closer to working with conservatives. This is good stuff. If that upsets you, sorry. I thought that FR, first and foremost, was a CONSTITUTIONAL RESTORATION website, and I stand with ANYONE who will help chip away at the federal behemoth. If you choose, you can find your own little band of merrymakers who agree with you 100 percent on your viewpoints. Guess what? You still won't accompish squat, as much as you like to decry the numbers of the LP. Successful politics is about alliances, about finding some level of common interest between groups, and then joining up and going out together and beating the crap out of the opposition. Not about ignoring similarities and harping on differences.
I know they make up a miserable 1/3rd of 1% of the voting population, so I figure there are NO LIBERTARIAN forums.
So friggin' what? For every big "L" libertarian, there are scores of posters on FR who adhere to some little "l" libertarian beliefs. People who harp on the big "L" also are failing to see the big picture...
