Mark,
"How does the Libertarian Party...allow..."
How?
Well, to begin with by recognizing that not every disagreement with what
YOU say things mean does not make the dissident the moral equivalent of
an anti-Semite. (No doubt you meant to say Nazi but feared being called
on Godwin's Rule.)
Then by recognizing that reasonable minds can differ about what general
principles mean especially when applied to actual situations.
Finally by understanding that no one person or clique defines precisely
what any political party stands for.
"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds"
