If you aren’t socially conservative, then don’t pretend to not be a liberal.

The original definition of "liberal", before the socialists took it over, was somebody who believed in "a political philosophy that supports individual rights as pre-existing the state, a government that exists to protect those moral rights, ensured by a constitution that protects individual autonomy from other individuals and governmental power, private property, and a laissez-faire economic policy".

One can be a social conservative and also a socialist. See, for example, the Puritan colony of Massachusetts, whose experiment with Christian Socialism turned into such a disaster.

What desperate nonsense, pushing your homosexual/porn agenda in 1790 would have gotten you lynched, not praised.

As far as the libertarian party being the same, it is, they haven’t changed their positions on the issues.

The 1990 platform is the same as it is today, homosexuality, open borders, porn, drugs, prostitution, abortion, weak military.

It is the same party, same platform.
