"...almost surprised the Ron Paul didnt blame illegal drugs for causing 9/11."
No, libertarians would blame the illegality of drugs for causing 9/11. : O]
I'm joking, I'm with the libertarians on a lot of issues. But not the WoT, I don't buy into their historical determinism worldview, which I think is based on some kind of Platonic idealization process which rejects the messyness and limitations of knowability of the real world.
Only some of them are wacky, so I wouldn't make generalizations or cast personal aspersions. A lot of them are good and in general alignment with most conservative principles. But enough of them are "out there" to keep the Libertarian Party permanently ineffective. Basically it's a bunch of independent-minded and often autodidactic thinkers marching to the tunes of their own drummers, hard for them to agree on stuff even within their own outfit.

Libertarians are well armed liberals that don’t want to pay taxes.
