They are much more absolute than any comparable principle for liberals or conservatives. I tried to think of something analogous for liberals/conservatives...but the closest analogy I could come up with was "Government can help build a good society by helping the poor" for liberals, and "Government can help build a good society by helping families" for conservatives.
I helped. Libs and Cons are often are so caught up in their partys that they can't see their own hands without some party leader telling them.
Neither of those are as comprehensive or universal as the things I listed for libertarians, and on any given issue I think you'd find a lot of liberals/conservatives who thought those respective beliefs did not apply. I don't think the same is true of libertarians.
BS. You haven't shown any evidence of this. Unless you can bring up something that proves Libertarians an exception to the general rule of thumb, "Large groups are diverse and generallizing about them as ignorant is idiotic and sophmoric," you lose.
That's more ordinary partisanship than ideological dogma. I was referring more to principles that would govern a person's policy opinions.
Dogma is dogma Kandahar. For many, their party IS their ideology
