Eric,
Are you contrasting "beliefs" of libertarians against principles
of libertarian philosophy? If not, then you seem to be saying
that libertarianism has no core philosophy or principles. For
example, are you saying the libertarian principle of small govt
(the goal of vastly reducing the size of our current one) can be
altered?

{American jurors have complete Constitutional authority to vote
"not guilty" based on nothing more than a disagreement with the
case, no matter the evidence - despite the judge's instructions.
There is absolutely no obligation to vote "guilty" to arrive at a
unanimous verdict. Get on a jury, stand your ground, and fulfill
its other main purpose: to counteract abusive government and
unjust lawsuits.

Those who issue calls to bar "nonconforming" members from office
or even
to expell them from the party fail to understand that no one has
the
power to define Libertarianism to the exclusion of other
definitions.
Any political party is defined by its members at any one given
time and
place and that definition can be altered anytime the membership
chooses
to do so.
There is no "core belief" that is immutable, not subject to
interpretation, or which must taken as received truth from on
high lest
one be struck by thunderbolts.
You can stamp your little feet and hold your breath until you
turn
purple but no display of pique, no amount of huffing and puffing
about
how you say that "Libertarians must believe that..." can change
that
reality.
