I believe I’m much more in agreement with Libertarians these days than with big government republicans.

Same here. The only major issue where I disagree with Libertarians is legalization of recreational drugs.

As a libertarian (small l) I would certainly be willing to compromise on the drug issue.

We could keep those drugs illegal in the same way they were in, say the 1950's...go to jail if you are dealing or publicly under the influence.

But we have to get rid of the no-knock raids, the asset forfeitures, and the local cops tricked out like military commandos.

Not shutting down the Border Patrol and opening the border, not totally unrestricted abortion, not fully opening the military and adoption to homosexuals?

Then you disagree with the Constitution, which grants no authority to the Federal government to criminalize recreational drugs.
