Instead of fighting for the Constitution, smaller government or laws that respect individual intuitive, they've become snarky leftists who prize their libertine social revolution first, and preening as if they're above mere partisan mortals like Ann Coulter (who's done more for shrinking govenment than most of them ever will combined) second. Forget libertarians fixing conservatism. Conservatives need to fix libertarianism.

Exactly right. Libertarians are left wing libertines who demand no restraints on their sex, drugs, and smooth jazz life styles while pilloring those of us who defend our country.
Before you start (you know who you are) don't give us any guff about libertarian principles and philosophy. You are known by the company you attract.
Kill the smooth jazz reference and I totally agree with you.

Are you sure about that "smooth jazz" thing? I see it more as classic rock or jazz fusion...
Yes, I think the most principled "small l" libertarians have tended to be Republicans-- Milton Friedman being one of many examples. The people who have best articulated those principles since Friedman have tended to be conservatives such as Thomas Sowell. It's a shame that some "libertarians" have decided their biggest opponents are not the left and its Democratic Party exemplars, but rather conservatives like Ann.
