Actually, on many issues, they are kindred spirits.

Don't confuse Republicans with conservatives. Conservatives are a minority subset of Republicans.

Actually, libertarians are consistent. They value and advocate individual liberty and personal responsibility on all issues

And conservatives are consistant. They value God, family, and liberty. A different priority of values with some overlap.

I haven't.

Conservatives are a minority subset of Republicans

Actually, true conservatives are quite separate from any political party and are only interested in them in as much as they advance conservative principles. A real conservative will work for the election of any conservative person irrespective of affiliation.

And conservatives are consistant.

Ummm, not in the way you suggest.

They value God,

Many conservatives on this forum are atheists. So, that seems to be incorrect as stated.

family,

Many liberals value families as well.

and liberty.

I have met many on this forum who are uninterested in liberty. They value order more. They value "group interests" more when it comes to many subjects.

A different priority of values with some overlap.

I'm not sure what that means.
