Undertoad covered all the essentials of any reply I'd make, and concisely.

A difference between Radar's thinking and mine is that I'm more interested in the global betterment I think Libertarianism shows the potential for than in ideological purity. The ideological purists, of any party that actually has them (more characteristic of US third parties than the Big Two), tend to be the very worst thing to come down the pike for any society they exert themselves on if they are placed in power.

This is why I don't buy Radar's litmus test nor nor his "Christians without Christ" analogy. It does not serve Libertarianism. It may satisfy a certain mindset, but as for me, I have a wider vision and don't mind saying so.

If you actually want libertarianism to happen, don't make the party hostile to growth.
