True conservatism is about getting the government off our backs and keeping it off. I trust the marketplace. And that includes morality. People need to learn to be moral by acting moral - and not depending on the government to enforce morality. And if you can't convince people to adopt your morality without using the government to shove it down my throat, then suck it up. In that case you lost in the marketplace of ideas, and it is not the job of the government to prop up marketplace losers. That, my friend, is called communism.

I really don't think any pure ideology works. America's system is all about the market place of ideas. The moralless anarchy that Libertarians propose has never worked and I have no doubt it never will. You can work within the best system ever created to advance individual rights and reduction of government, or you can keep taughting ideas that will keep Libertarians on the 1% fringe.

Just goes to show that you either have no clear understanding of libertarian objectivism, or that you would prefer to have a Nanny state government to protect your from your own moral weakness.

I don't believe they propose an amoral anarchy, rather, letting morals be decided by the people as a social issue rather than enforced by the government as a legal issue. Society will still look down upon the heroin junkie, whether it's legal or not. We do it with alcoholics now.
