I am not a capital “L” libertarian because the party tends to run nut cases for candidates.

I see myself as a Constitutional ‘originalist,’ a social and economic libertarian, capitalist, pragmatist, and anti-federalist in the 1787 way, and a moral conservative Christian.

In other words, the modern Tea Party. ;-)

Unless I am misunderstanding your post, you cannot be a social libertarian and a moral conservative Christian.

Those two characteristics cannot co-exist in the same body.

Except that the tea party isn't libertarian, it is actually more religious and more socially conservative than the average republican, not less so.
