The two issues that all the Libertarians I have met have in common are: legalize dope and leave my money alone. While a Conservative and a Libertarian would agree on controlling spending by the government and reducing taxation, it is on the issues of morality and foreign relations (read: isolationism) that distinguish them most clearly. A Libertarian adheres very strongly to John Stuart Mill’s view of liberty, namely, I should be allowed to do anything that I want as long as it does not infringe upon the rights of others. The government has no right to stop individuals from doing things harmful to themselves. If I want to snort meth or smoke marijuana, that is my business. People should be free to buy dope, to be a prostitute, or eat their pet. There is no sense of societal responsibility. I would say that Libertarians believe that religion has no place in government or society in general.
I agree with you to an extent, except as it pertains to Religion. I think that is what libertarians believe should be used to encourage you to not do things like smoke meth. Remember, there is a difference between not criminalizing and thinking you should do something. Religion and societal pressures in general are an acceptable way to deter individually destructive behavior without involving the government.
I can't believe that most (non-libertarian) conservatives are really happy with things like property confiscation, unlimited no-knock raids, and IR-equipped helicopters snooping around for grow lights.
We could take the drug enforcement regime back to what it was like in the '50s (when drugs were as illegal as they are today) and I could live with that.
define “societal responsibility”
Actually, that's backwards. The libertarian believes that government/society has no business dictating to the individual his religious beliefs, or using religion to enact laws to restrict behavior.
