It's not difficult to find inaccurate text. There's plenty that misrepresents Christianity too!

In reality, the aforementioned "appeal" is to liberalism, or leftism when combined with enforcement of law.

The establishment of law is simply not a tenet libertarianism especially when the laws results in the enforcement of supporting or servicing particular behaviors.

Libertarianism is in opposition to statism. It's not about morality, but about enforcement. Law only exists to be enforced. To pass law in the name of libertarianism doesn't make sense. For example, "homosexual marriage" law is about statism as it is designed to persecute those that refuse to service homosexual behavior. "homosexual marriage" law is rooted in Leftism through the combination of liberalism and statism; the morality of liberalism, the enforcement of statism.

Given libertarianism's proximity to anarchy, it's a week argument to hold libertarianism responsible for law that inevitably affects the citizens' behavior.

Here's my vision of the political structure in question:
            Statism
            
  (despots)    /\    (absolutists)
              /  \    
             /    \
 Leftism    /      \  Conservatism
            \      /
             \    /  
 (Liberals)   \  /   (Founding Tenets)
               \/
            
         Libertarianism

libertarianism is as idiotic and utopian as socialism

LOL, you sound exactly like a cult member, you want to talk about anything other than the fact that libertarianism is so bizarre, sick, and radical, that it is a philosophy of legal abortion, of creating homosexual marriage and legalizing pedophilia, and homosexuality in the military and gay men adopting kids, and all kinds of sick ideas to destroy America.

Sorry troll, but conservatism is about morality.

The libertarian agenda is to get abortion and gay marriage, not to FIGHT it and OPPOSE it, that is why they are not conservatives.

The left and libertarians are on the same team, and the result of their goal will be more statism and bigger, more powerful government, because the voters they create, will always choose that.

If you want smaller government and less government, then support the religious conservatives, they created this nation, and are the opposition to the left today.
