I think the libertarians have far more "Randians" than the other types. Most libertarians I meet are extremely strong on defense and other major issues...They just happen to be a bit more radical on economic policy, demanding at least a 90% reduction in taxes AND domestic government spending.

I would consider myself closer to libertarian than conservative, yet I am pro-defense, anti-abortion, pro-prayer and pro 10 commandments. Where I differ is 1) I don't do drugs nor want others to but believe the FDA and DEA and WOD are abomination, 2) I'd hack the education department to pieces 3) I'd cut taxes and welfare at the same time. If this combination makes me a crazy libertine, so be it.
