It was intended for you. I added other names because, after thinking about it, I thought that post needed to be told to not only you but others too.

You were/are correct that the GOP-e and libertarians are at war with conservatives. The GOP-e is at war with conservatives on both fiscal issues and social issues, and libertarians are at war with conservatives pretty much just on social issues.

A truce can be reached with libertarians: Conservatives can say they will no longer support an unending war position, and libertarians can drop their attacks on conservatives over social issues. One for one.

Together, libertarians and conservatives can tell the GOP-e that their war on conservatives has to end, or conservatives will leave.

This will never work.

The abyss between conservatives and libertarians is far greater than many believe. The truth is that libertarians are far more likely to form an alliance with the left than they are with conservatives.

The first reality is that there WILL be another war eventually that has to be fought. The second is that libertarians will never agree to the fact that, for conservatives, the abolition of abortion and sanctity of traditional marriage are non-negotiable.

What was unfortunate was you made it look like I had said the things you were lashing out at.

If you were agreeing with my post, it came off as the opposite.
