"Making a liberaltarian alliance work would require a group of liberals and libertarians deciding that they care enough about issues of mutual concern to make those issues the focus of their work. There’s no philosophical reason this couldn’t or shouldn’t happen, it just has a half-century of institutional inertia working against it."

Liberals reject Libertarians, not vice versa. Libertarians tend to agree with liberal values down the line on most issues of social responsibility. As soon as the topic reaches property or fiscal responsibility, liberals go all fuzzy, so naturally the long winded economic treatments about how this economic philosophy impacts culture/policy takes center stage for the Libertarians. Liberals would win their alliance big time if they could just agree to let the Libertarian economic philosophy dove tail social issues. Personally, I could not care less.
