If Libertarians were actually conservative they wouldn't be overwhelmingly supported by drug advocates, pornographers and sex stores owners. Just declaring freedom from government is not conservative. Declaring love of God, country and family is conservative.

Beautifully said.

An honest Libertarian will side with pornographers, drug advocates and sex store owners. It’s called “integrity”.

You see, “integrity” means standing for a principle, whether the principle is being used for good, or evil. A libertarian feels that the “individual” has something we call “inalienable rights”. You know, alledgely rights given by God. If those rights include making a living off pornography, or taking drugs - you are free to make those decisions. You see, it’s pretty simple stuff, you should have no problem figuring this one out all by yourself.

You are free to make stupid decisions. If you are not free to make stupid decisions, are you free at all? Each of us will answer for the decisions we have made. I will answer for mine, you will answer for yours. If I remove your ability to make decisions, I have enslaved you. I feel that neither one of us has that authority; this is the crux of what Libertarians believe. It’s root is “Liberty” - as established by our founding fathers.

I doubt you’ll find many Libertarians who do not declare a love of God, country and family.
