How dare we get along?

And did you know that when libertarian/religious people run for office it is the 'hijacking' of the process?
Today, the Libertarian-Religious-Tea Party Alliance is a consciously strategic federation of separate, but inter-connected, wings of a potent right-wing political machine that is energized by the frightening uncertainties of the economic downturn, mobilized in rigid opposition to a President they cannot abide, emboldened by confrontation with some of their historic allies within the broader Republican conservative movement, and fueled by a new avalanche of post-Citizen's United-inspired financial resources.
Its political power has risen rapidly and dramatically. In just the past twelve months, the GNAs' successes have affected virtually every nook and cranny of American politics - sweeping victories in the 2010 Congressional and state elections, grid-locked legislative stand-off with Congressional Democrats and President Obama, scorched earth political wars in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, New Jersey and other states with overwhelming Republican elected majorities, and a dramatic hijacking of the current Republican Presidential Primary process through the candidacies of Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Michelle Bachmann, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum.
While Mitt Romney, or some other (although that increasingly seems unlikely) theoretically more "moderate" candidate, may emerge within the next six months from the Republican primary process, the unmistakable tone, substance and aura of the Republican primaries thus far overwhelmingly has hewed to the Libertarian-Religious-Tea Party rhetoric and agenda.
much more at link. They guy is quaking, but they define libertarianism as Libertarianism as defined by the Kochtopus organizations, Cato, etc. .
