I disagree. Most Libertarians I have known favor making legal acts like abortion, assisted suicide, using dope (many kinds), homosexuality and a number of personal activities Conservatives believe are detrimental to society and should not be legal.

So what? All are state issues under a federalist system. Libertarians and conservatives both support federalism. Bury the hatchet while you fight the common enemy of centralized government, and then battle them in your states when you disagree about abortion or drugs, where the battles belong.

Well, abortion is already legal. Pot should be legalized. If you are at your end and have terminal cancer, it is your business, not the governments, to engage in assisted suicide. That's different than euthanasia. Homosexuality; it's not mine or your business what two adults do in the privacy of their own homes. Having said that, gay marriage should be left up to states, not judges, and since the voters of each state chose to not recognize gay marriage then their wishes need to be upheld since there is no constitutional right to marriage, anyways.

Some of the social issues are what separate Libertarians from conservatives but we both believe in limited, constitutional government, low taxes, sound money, free speech, second amendment rights, state rights.

Reagan never considered libertarians the enemy.
