The most unbelievable shot is the one with the marchers. I can only suspend my disbelief so far.

"Liberty Coalition"?  See, if *I* were naming a political organization, I would try NOT to make it sound like something out of 1984.

AP: RP's ending his presidential campaign but vowing to continue to campaign to get Libertarian-leaning Republicans elected across the country.

I've said it before, but it bears repeating: I think the Republican Party is going to shift toward Libertarian over the next couple of decades.  If for no other reason, it's because every Republican I know under the age of 30 is Libertarian-leaning.  I realize this community is hardly a random sample, but even among our few fiscal conservatives, do we have a single social conservative?

And of course I'm no big fan of Libertarians, but they beat the hell out of the fundamentalists who are running the Republican Party now.

...It also bears noting that I'm in one of the most Libertarian states in the country, so that could be fucking up the sample for my personal anecdotes, too.  Have the rest of you seen a similar trend?

I've seen a similar trend among over-30 Republicans from the Bible Belt.  I can only conclude that most Republicans never really cared about social conservatism that much, it's just an ugly element that got mixed into their party line at some point.  Abe Lincoln etc. etc. etc.

Not to say they're not social conservatives themselves, but most of them would rather have their personal moral codes saying they can't do shit rather than a law doing it.

Here in Texas I see a strong support for both ways, actually.  The fact that Austin had the largest base of Ron Paul supporters would indicate a lean towards libertarianism, but even throughout college and high school I encountered a number of young, traditional social conservatives.  In fact, as much as I felt my high school was more progressive than most, we still had a school supported bible study group who made a point of trying to publicly out any gay students and get them kicked out of school.

That'd be 1968.
