From what I’ve gathered, libertarians are basically socially amoral? If that’s the case. then no wonder they are considered more palatable to Hollywood.

On the contrary, I believe libertarians are quite moral, in that they don't want confiscate other people's incomes or tell them how to behave, unlike the left and the right.

YMMV, of course. I frequently see social conservatives prudishly refer to libertarians as "libertines". When describing my own libertarian-leaning views I was recently called (pejoratively, mind you) a "greedy Republican" on this very board. I took it as a compliment.

I consider libertarians closer to the original FOunders than either Democrats or Republicans.

Libertarians usually just want government to keep the peace and fix the roads and stay out of everything else.

I consider myself a small l libertarian. I believe that what I do is no ones business but my own, as long as i do not infringe upon anyone else’s civil rights or liberties....no knock raids into the wrong home, resulting in the death of little old ladies sitting in their living rooms is a direct result of the war on drugs, and a violation of civil liberties on so many fronts it cannot be documented here...this little old lady ( in atlanta, this was a big story last year ) was denied her right to LIVE because of a bad warrant and no knock raids.....police are setting up sting operations for the sole purpose of entrapping, arresting and confiscating property of people soliciting services of prostitutes....I do not do drugs or use prostitutes, but I am amazed that this is allowed to happen in the USA, and it is all a direct violation of our constitution.
