We would no doubt be surprised how many conservatives would be libertarians if it were not for the gay marriage and abortion issues.
Even though I have never met a gay libertarian it makes the party look bad because they do not believe it is an issue that should be decided by Government.
On the Christian issue any one who know the liberals know that a conservative is much more liberal in the biblical sense of the word than a liberal.
Liberalism has nothing to do with being a liberal giver.
That and Drug legalization.
