The National Libertarian Party website goes so far as to equate President Bush with Osama bin Laden. Unlike the Peace Through Strength model that many Libertarians supported in the Cold War, today the official Libertarian Party website says, "problems are solved by peaceful cooperation." Unless of course the people you are supposed to be cooperating with wish to behead you and blow up the school your children attend.

Plenty of "libertarian" Republicans were behind Reagan, but was the Libertarian Party? Murray Rothbard certainly wasn't. At least some libertarians were ferociously anti-Cold War.

One thing about bringing together the conservative movement -- plenty of Republican and conservative voters aren't "movement" people, and too many "movement" noises may scare away the Republicans' pluralities.

It's not the voters you include in the drafting of a "Sharon Statement" - that was a pretty small group they had that got together and outlined a conservative roadmap for the future.

One advantage they had that we don't have is that they did it at a time of occupation of the government by the Far Left.

Easier to rally people to oppose horrid liberalism than to organize coalitions for a positive and pro-active push for conservatism when the Left isn't oppressing everyone with their control of government power.
