Sane libertarians who understand and respect the constiution could disassocate themselves from these social radical atheist anti-constitution hatemongers.

What do you think I've been trying to do on this thread? I've been pointing out how their "philosophy" is not libertarianism but a mish mash of things based on personal bias. (You are correct that it seems to boil down to a hatred for God.) It isn't even logical or internally consistent. I put them firmly on the left with those that mis-call themselves "liberal".

I consider myself a Christian libertarian. I know where our rights come from and I fully understand the dangers of government. It is others who don't bother to think too deeply about the inherent contradictions and inconsistencies in the positions of these so-called "anarchists" or "left libertarians" or "libertarian socialists" that lump them in with rightists who want small government. Some of those people may call themselves libertarians. They're stupid for doing that if they are rightists because it is self-defeating.

My preferred word would be "liberal", but the left has largely destroyed that.

I understand. Are you in the leadership of the Libertarian Party? Are you giving speeches to Libertarian as a leader?

Personally, I would be a “Christian Libertarian” as well if it were not for the hate-mongers leading the charge of the party. After getting involved in the party, I was horrifed at the dominate Marxist spirit of hatred and intolerance for the constitution’s design of social freedom. This is what is meant when a libertarian proclaims themselves a “social liberal and economic conservative.” The social liberal is a Marxist and so we have an ideology that is a house divided against itself.
