100% spot on! Some people seem to think "conservative" can be broken down into "fiscal" and "social". It can't. A fiscal conservative who's also a social liberal is a libertarian, which is an entirely different animal. A libertarian is a half-a**ed conservative.
For the life of me, I don't see why the likes of Andrew Breitbart, Ann Coulter, and the FReepers who've been defending them over the last few days/weeks are willing to sell out such a big plank of the conservative platform in order to win so few votes. Homos make up...what, about one percent of the electorate, tops? Seems to me that the GOP would win more votes from independents like me by taking a strong stand against homosexual "rights", queers in the military, homo marriage and adoption, etc.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
I'd disagree with you on this point. A Libertarian is a radical liberal with NO bounds. At least liberals have values, although perverted. Hard-core libertarians, in practice, have none.
