This article is bashing libertarians and seriously misrepresents what it is about.
Most libertarians I know are social conservatives - indeed most are orthodox Catholics.
They understand one key point - abortion, gay marriage, drug use, are not causes, they are symptoms. Debt, fiat money and activist progressive government are the causes of harmful changes to society and to how people behave. Fix those first and the social problems will fix themselves.
You are a very confused individual. You cannot be a libertarian AND a conservative.
” Debt, fiat money and activist progressive government are the causes of harmful changes to society and to how people behave. Fix those first and the social problems will fix themselves”
You can’t fix those things until you deal with the social problems.
Funny, I thought it was overly generous to libertarians.

Really? I am well aware that most, if not all, devout Catholics are social conservatives; but I can't see how they can be libertarian. It is IMPOSSIBLE to be a devout Catholic or a social conservative and be libertarian on issues such as abortion and homosexuality.

Oh yes, the always popular libertarian mantra of "deal with our agenda and we won't need to worry about yours."
The REALITY is that the sexual revolution, homosexual agenda, abortion, drug abuse and other social issues started BEFORE America went off the gold standard (despite what the libertarians would have us believe, there has ALWAYS been a Federal debt). Abortion goes back to the eugenics movement that started in the late 19th century. Drug abuse has been around in one form or another for all of human history. Acceptance of sexual promiscuity and the "normalization" of homosexuality began with the Kinsey Report of 1948.
Absolute nonsense, libertarianism is about NOT being a social and national defense conservative.
Most Catholics are democrat voters anyway.
