There certainly are left wing libertarians, and they are basically dumb bunnies with screwed up ideas just like other left wingers. Right wing libertarians support most of the conservative agenda with the main area of difference being marijuana legalization. Most people are able to understand this.

Libertarian is a description of a social liberal who is too liberal to be a conservative.

But as usual we have to play this game that no, libertarians are all conservatives, they just like the name libertarian better, and of course totally disagree with their party that they founded, and it’s platform.

Unless of course this was a liberal forum, then they would be telling us all that they share with us as liberals.

For me, I would have no problem if marijuana were legalized. From everything I see, you will only be hurting yourself and in a free society we have to allow people to make those choices. I would draw the line there because most of the harder drugs also harm society such as meth and cocaine where you become a burden on society. However, with marijuana I don't believe you do become a burden to society. It should be highly regulated like alcohol (no one under 18 etc..).

In the end though it's just not that a big of an issue to me either way. I mean, we have serious issues in this country such as the deficit, the 18 trillion of national debt, the rising of Islamo Fascism and creeping of government overreach in our society. This issue is just so far down the list that we really should not even waste the time that is put into discussing it.
