"Conservatives need to form their own party, not afraid to confront liberals and their idiocy!" Liberals might actually be weakest within the Democrats. A well-organized insurgent effort in caucus states could install socially conservative Democrats in safe seats in the state legislatures and maybe even take out a liberal congressman or two.

Unaffiliated or third party social conservatives might have more fun as renegade Democrats. You'll need majorities in both parties for long term success anyway.

Show me an amoral humanist libertarian and I’ll show you a bunch of politically correct liberals who can not tolerate social conservatives speaking in the Republican party. Many will flee to the socialists. Conservative economic policy comes with a virtuous public who can survive independently from the socialists’ government.

Rand’s social ideology is Marxist and it promises Marxist economic policy. America’s economic ideology was created with the dominance of Western culture and virtue; not Soviet humanism.

An amoral humanist libertarian is no libertarian. he is a libertine. A real libertarian is very moral, and is based on a firm principle - liberty.

And your portrayal of Rand puts you in the same category as those trashing Norquist. Just because one has a bad idea, all of their good ideas are not invalidated.
