The majority of libertarians on this forum and elsewhere are moral liberals.

  If they were social conservatives, ie moralists, lifestyle police,
  etc., then they wouldn't be very good libertarians.  Libertarians
  are usually fiscal conservatives, socially liberal.

I'm sure the small "l" libertarains are not like this to a
large extent, but regardless it overshadows the entire movement with a black cloud.

No, it isn't a black cloud.  It's what distinguishes them from
those who would enshrine their morals in the laws of the
land and dictate how everyone else should live, for
their own good, of course.

Yeah we are a real socially repressive society alright. I guess you mean the religious police that knock down your door to drag you to church every Sunday?

Riiight. Lifestyle police. I mean, heaven forbid someone might stand up for a moral concept now and again.

I'd not say anything about it but there are standards which should be recognized and other things that should be stigmatized... like beastiality, homosexuality, pedophelia--clerical or otherwise--and drug use for example. I don't care if the libertarians think I'm preaching at them. I'm not going to cower in the corner while they destroy our culture along with the liberals.

And let me guess what your next post will be: An indictment of religion and my church? =)

Libertarians are usually fiscal conservatives, socially liberal.

So, the only difference between libertarians and liberals is money?

I always knew that they were cousins.
