The LP went to CPAC was to learn what you just said, to learn how to organize and win more elections.

I'd like to see libertarians learn from the left how to do effective protest.

I'd like to see Libertarians teach "Conservative" Republicans the constitution and what small government is.

Not me. The real conservatives can teach us about the Constitution and how government could have stayed small.

Libertarians can push the proper boundaries of freedom into new areas with a new vision, independent of the Constitution.

Libertarians are not particularly constitutionalists, and for the most part have little to say about it. The constitution is just not an issue of study or importance to them. Go to any of the major libertarian literature and book dealers. What little you will find on the constitution is by far out weighed by that which runs counter of the constitution. At this time in our history, I don't think Libertarians have anything to teach "Conservative" Republicans.

I would say however, at this time, that we Libertarians have a lot to teach liberal democrats (but the Constitution is not one of the items, for them either).
