    Perhaps this is a variant of SBD ... dyslexic blogger syndrome. Seriously, shouldn't it be PDS?

      ROTFLMAO! Good catch, I'll correct that!

    I think Libertarians and Conservatives have much in common when it comes to positions and issues - where we differ is in some of the principles that are the foundation of those positions and issues.

    In the end, I'd trust a libertarian over a liberal if both agreed with me on an issue. I haven't looked at Rand, so I have no opinion on his race. And I am not yet ready to give Palin the power of accepting her analysis at face value. But the fact she has endorsed him suggests I should at least find out more.

      When we focus on philosophy, there is very little for libertarians and conservatives to argue about. It's when we focus on talking points - conservative=pro-war, libertarian=libertine - that it all falls apart.

      "We the people" must find our way back together ... We attack each other more ferociously than we attack the ever-growing State! Conservatism and libertarianism were born from the same classical liberal womb. We should treat each other as such ... Different people, but brothers and sisters none the less.
