A “libertarian” (as the word is orginally defined) can be socially liberal or socially conservative, in that it principle meaning is on the limitation on government power to impose those choices.

But, given that government is inherantly liberal because government workers are inherantly liberal, small, weak, government is far more friendly to social conservatives.

Wow, talk about making up weird stuff, no libertarianism is social liberalism, it is fundamental to it, conservative economics is not what separates libertarians from conservatism, it is the social issues, it is why so many lefties are libertarians.

“”I’m libertarian on social issues””

Libertarianism is a children’s fantasy, that is why a libertarian salesman can go to a leftwing meeting or a right wing meeting and shape a message for each audience by limiting which portions he wants to reveal and which he wants to conceal.
