Perhaps like me, you also talk with many conservatives and find areas of agreements on Taxes, deficit spending, budgets etc. Also we usually have commonality on the Second Amendment and, most important, partial agreement on Property rights.
I am astounded, however on the positions many conservatives take on personal rights. About 15 years ago I rather accidentally stumbled on information that shocked me as to who was really pulling strings on anti immigration rhetoric, using falsified statistics and generally attempting to saturate the conservatives with anti immigration ideas. These manipulators are succeeding, and in the process Conservatives are harming their reputation and credibility. Worse because they claim to agree with libertarians on some issues, their anti immigration position harms us also, simply by association. Worst though of all is the damage done to hard working immigrants who come here to work, live, trade and live normal lives.
There are many more arguments I will be making in this series of articles and I have extensive information, from all the speeches and the radio shows I did earlier. However, if you have immigration information to add, I would appreciate it. This furthers my suggestion idea that we divide and conquer(not people but the amount of educational work ahead) each of us not trying to do everything, but choosing one area and becoming well grounded and spending the time to handle it well.
I had the opportunity to submit a series of articles, to an immigration sympathetic conservative editor to present the pro immigrant position to counter the other authors and most of their reader base. They accepted my articles. So, with my friend Becky Akers the two of us will attempt to offer, explain and perhaps persuade toward the freedom of movement which libertarians hold as a primary essential for this particular Ezine.
I hope you will not only go to the site but forward the link to friends who are sympatheitic to the libertarian positition...or even opposed to it.
