Nonsense. But let’s suppose you are correct. What assurances do you have the Libertarian Party wouldn’t do the same thing.

I have always thought that some of the libertarian values would integrate nicely into the republican platform.

Like Non interventionism and bringing our troops home to defend our borders.

Shrinking federal powers

I like a lot the libertarianism structured by Richard Maybury. I disagree with his Islamic justification issues, but like most else he has to say.

I made no such claim. It is in the nature of power to corrupt. Political parties are made of individual people. Therefore, they are all corruptible. The agenda of the party will tend to push for more liberty, but that will not always be the case, and unaccountable power is that which corrupts absolutely.
