I’ve worked in political campaigns all across the US and can say that libertarians, by and large, promote an amoral, morally-baseless ideology.

Then I guess you get out enough, so perhaps you need to get to different places—or improve your observational skills.
I do notice that you’ve changed the parameters of your original claim—
“every single” vs. “by and large”
“Libertarian” vs. “libertarians”
—but the fact remains, if you have met few moral libertarians, then you haven’t had the experience I’ve had.

But maybe that’s partly because I had a good Christian upbringing and believe that authoritarianism is immoral. Nowhere did Jesus advocate running to the Romans to force behavior on others—if someone disagreed, the advice was to shake off the dust and move on, not send in the government.
