As we are a country of many views and thoughts, not many people fall simply within Republican or Democrat camps. A small portion of the electorate adhere to a hybrid version that I and others dub as conservatarian. This is a combination of conservative and libertarian viewpoints.
Abortion – Abortion is the taking of a life. Human rights should apply to everyone, even the unborn.
Crime and Justice – Protect citizens through effective law enforcement. Penalize those individuals who do not follow the rule of law with common sense sentencing and limited parole.
Self-Defense – The ability to defend yourself, your property, and your family.
Environmental Issues – The environment should be protected and preserved but not at the expense of basic human liberties.
Taxes – Replace the federal income and payroll taxes with a fair tax. Stop the over taxation of the producers and under taxation of non-producers.
Energy and Resources – The United States should explore its own natural resources free from over reaching environmental agencies and left-wing environmental groups.
Financial Markets – The government should get out of the way of the financial markets and allow them to function properly. Oversight should be utilized but without a full-on intrusion from the Fed.
Compulsory Retirement System – The forced bankrupt governmental retirement system (Social Security) should be abolished in favor of a voluntary method of individual contributions.
Health Care – Health care should not be run by the government in any realm.
National Defense – The military should be available to first protect citizens against domestic threats and then against international threats.
Domestic Security – The United States should first protect her citizens and then the rest of the world. Threats to domestic security should be handled swiftly and with minimal bureaucracy.
Illegal Immigration – Illegal immigrants should be deported out of the United States. Businesses that employ illegal immigrants should suffer steep and progressive fines.
Legal Immigration – Individuals should have the opportunity to continue to become citizens of the United States without exorbitant red tape and expense.
Discrimination Issues – Discrimination in any form is anti-American. Everyone should be equally protected regardless of sex, wealth, race, color, creed, age, national origin, or sexual orientation, but no individual group should have more protection than another.
Many of these ideals have come through years of thoughtful study with assistance from various groups and organizations.

Of course, this is just my opinion.
