Minorities can’t succeed without the government, religion is a tool of oppression, capitalists are evil, etc.And the key to deciding if a film does this is to look at how the film defines good and bad, i.e. The film can’t mock conservative values or treat them as social outliers, and it can't reinforce the leftist propagandized view of the world, e.g. The positive characters must act according to those values and they must be rewarded for it.
Hence, they present their heroes as brave individuals struggling single-handedly against all-powerful organizations ( The China Syndrome) and they end the film the moment the hero is told they have won ( Philadelphia).

Even a film about a pedophile priest can be conservative, if they do the right thing with it.

Even when most folks were much more religious than they are now, so that's clearly a strawman argument.Okay, mini rant over. And this is just one example of many.It also is idiotic for any libertarian to believe that the vast majority of social or religious conservatives want some sort of theology or wanna shove their relgion down everyone elses throats.For one thing, the left tries to do this all the time, and have been for decades.And for another, I challenge any libertarian to name one time since prohibition that social or religious conservatives have shoved anything down anyone's throats.and there has never been a theocracy of any kind whatsoever in the U.S. Which is too bad because they are much closer than they realize.I think the seven points should be acceptable to both groups, though with each probably putting more or less emphasis on different points.It was great to see all the responses!

I have no idea really how many believe this) borders, boundaries, rules, and laws are somehow antithema to liberty is, frankly nutty.I'm not saying all boundaries or laws are good or helpful (particularly the so-called hate crime laws or many stupid and not well-though out modern laws our Founders would've shuddered at) but the ones that are sound actually enhance liberty, not diminish it.IMO, and I've seen this happen among more than a few conservatives too, many libertarians can't distinguish liberty from mere freedom.And many libertarians also think that adults should be legally free to do anything as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.Unfortunately, a lot of the freedoms they want legalized would hurt someone else (such as legalizing hard drugs).Those who think it wouldn't ain't being honest.
