“No it isn’t at all, you don’t think that libertarianism is largely based on opposing the social conservatism and national defense positions of conservatism?”
Not at all. Small “l” libertarianism doesn’t “oppose” conservatism, but rather supports personal freedom, the basis for our country’s founding and form of government.
National defense is one thing, world policeman and nation-building are quite another.
Libertarian conservatives want a government so small and constrained, as to lack resources to impose upon personal freedoms.
Your version of “conservatism,” like Obama’s, needs a big well funded government, to monitor and meddle in peoples’ lives, finances, church attendance, other nations’ internal affairs & external, etc.
What a silly claim, there is no big l, little l libertarianism, and it's leftist positions on social issues and abortion and marriage, are not "personal freedoms", and it IS part of the left's opposition to conservatism.
Care to explain the ridiculous claim you made in support of Obama's positions on homosexual issues where you claim that opposing gay marriage and gays in the military requires bigger government and ""to monitor and meddle in peoples’ lives, finances, church attendance, other nations’ internal affairs & external, etc.""?
