Broad brush there, but I’ll take a stab here...

(L) are more focused upon the Constitution; that negates any need to look to the future vs. now.

I’m STILL looking for a definition of ‘Conservative’. Does that entail returning to the ‘good ol’ days’ of JFK/LBJ? Wilson? FDR? Theodore? Lincoln?....Just where in the U.S. timeline of steady Socialism is the ‘end all’? In that regard, IMHO, the (L) doctrine (is it Const.??) makes things MUCH easier.

I’m seen, even here, way too many (C) who will back the JBT or War on Drugs....and then bad-mouth the (L) for ‘helping the GOP lose’ or being ‘liberal’; just blows my mind.

IMHO, the author is correct in one aspect...we SHOULD be working together to restore our Republic. But when the GOP/etc. pass NSA, TSA, No Child, etc., why should the (L) care to mesh?

Absolute nonsense. If you had the intelligence to peruse my FR page and looked at the sources there before pretending that I am ignorant you would find that I am a reasonable scholar of the Constitution. Examples are here and here.

No. If you had the intelligence to peruse my FR page and looked at the sources there before pretending that I am backward, you would have found my business method patent for a free-market environmental management system here.

Your bias merely assures your blindness.

Yes, it's blown all right. When libertarians propose means to assure that drug users will be held fully and financially accountable for the damage they do while stoned, I'll pay attention to what they have to say about the WOD (of which I am no fan).

Like many libertarians looking to gain support from conservatives you deliberately conflate Republicans and conservatives. You are either ignorant of the voluminous posting here opposing the actions of Bush, Boehner, McConnell and crew, or you are consciously ignoring it and are therefore dishonest. Had you been here when TED KENNEDY'S "No Child Left Alone" was passed, you would not have found many fans and there were plenty of warnings (including from me) about both the Patriot Act and the TSA.

Try getting your facts straight before condescending.
