No, just that you can be against something without calling the police. in some cases, like the Drug War, it's a bad idea to get the police involved in the first place. In other cases, like abortion, you may find that laws are not the whole solution.

Constitutionalism is not libertarianism. A constitutional government may LOOK like a Libertarian's dream, but ask any Libertarian and they will not want to stop there.

Same with hard-line social conservatives. On FR, your causes take a back seat to constitutional government.

Opposing the Drug War is a completely different topic than utter stupidity of legalizing drugs. And, yes, most conservatives in the nation still oppose that moronic concept. Yet, Free Republic is filled with freaks promoting drug legalization.

Hell, I'm a libertarian, and I'd love it if this country would get to that point and stop there.

No LAW is ever the WHOLE solution. But take away the law that prohibits murder. See what happens. When it comes to abortion someone is ALWAYS killing an innocent human being. It was a law that made it legal. It will have to be a law that makes it illegal. After they make it illegal, then we can deal with it like we do with other murder cases.
