Can anyone explain to a libertarian why simply ignoring two gay people having sex in private is so terrible, but no one has time to worry about US citizens held prisoner without any charge, trial or anything resembling due process. That is the unbearable violation of the constitution that has to be challenged.

When we have all the due process violations that are imprisoning innocent people and allowing forfeiture and on and on, taken care of, then maybe we can take the time to debate this issue. Right now, it pales into insignificance.

Libertarianism is a modern word for a long established tendency in Whiggery. The Europeans call it "liberalism" or sometimes "girondism". It usually appeals more to the young than the old as the young are lacking in wisdom. If entertained in adulthood it often moves in the Lew Rockwell, "philosophical anarchism", Proudhonist direction. Been there, done that. There is nothing "there" there.
