I believe his rationale is that libertarians generally agree with liberals about more issues than they do with conservatives. Of course, I’ve never debated that point because I agree with it.

I knew there was a reason I've never identified myself as a libertarian.

Out of frustration with the Illinois GOP (or what is left of it) I looked at the website of the Libertarian Party of Illinois. Outside of the absence of socialist planks, their platform was hardly distinguishable from the Green Party’s. One of the things that stood out was their participation in a coalition that included A.N.S.W.E.R, Code Pink, and other leftist organizations, including the CPUSA as I recall, in opposition to the Iraq War. They can oppose the war if they like. Do they have to get in bed with communists to do so?

I stayed Republican.

Classical liberalism is way better than conservatism. Greatly reduced government, civil liberties, greatly reduced taxes, border defense, and constitutional rights. Conservatism seems to be a waste of ideas. The problem is I am a baptized Christian, silent on Islam even though it is an Antichrist religion, silent on Israel because the end must come.

Most conservatism is a sham.
