Lisa Yes, it's often necessary to deal with people who are unprincipled. If you have a choice in the matter, such as family and friends, you have to decide whether the unprincipled aspects of their thinking outweigh their other virtues. In politics, what happens is determined by who has the most power (votes/guns). And often you have to triage--libertarians are too few on the ground to win every battle, or even many battles. Often, our only option is to slightly slow the growth of leviathan. But pragmatic compromises forced upon you by circumstance don't change the fact that the other party is unprincipled, and that it's undesirable to be a hypocrite.
