It occurs to me that as much fun as slapfighting in Free Republic is, it’s not accomplishing much,
Ask yourself this simple question: Which of us is more able to speak to undecided and independent voters to get them to vote our way? After all, you’ve made it clear you apply an remarkably narrow ideological purity test before accepting like-minded people as your allies.
And as much fun as you’re having preaching to the choir, your debate style will never convince undecided and independent voters.
That’s fine if all *you* want to accomplish is to preach to the choir. But *I* aspire to rather more.
The next liberaltarian I meet who has the faintest idea how the two-party system works will be the first. We're mot trying to get the Conservative Party candidate elected here. He wouldn't get enough votes. We stand behind the Republican candidate, but we do everything in our power to make sure that that Republican candidate agrees with us on as many conservative positions as possible.
If I were a libertarian, I'd be doing the same thing. I just wouldn't be doing on a Conservative forum, where 98% of the members disagree with me.
And, BTW, most libertarians believe in a woman's so-called "right" to choose. There is no more narrow-minded political position in the history of the human race. Including slavery and the "Final Solution."
You can "asipire" to anything you like. You just can't do it here.
