Read my posts. I wasn’t discussing the big-L libertarian party — I was discussing the traditional small government/libertarian faction of the GOP, and Constitutionalism in general. My point was that just as some in the libertarian faction mischaracterize the entire socon faction as fascist zealots, some socons mischaracterize the entire small gov/libertarian faction as libertines. Further, I said that this wasn’t productive because the GOP needs all its factions — socons, libertarians and national defense hawks — to win.

The other poster then distorted my posts to go on a rant about the libertine Libertarian party — and you and he have now proved my point.

IIRC (without reading back through all of the posts), on this thread you have endorsed gambling, drugs, and pornography. Which portions of the Libertarian platform do you OPPOSE?
