Liberaltarians are simply Leftists in all respects other than taxation and business regulation. Socially, they are Leftist radicals.

"Socially, they are Leftist radicals."

Not quite. Libertarians don't believe in banning anything and everything that might possibly hurt someone. They also hate taxes and social programs which socialists love. Things socialists love that libertarians hate:

Gun regulations and prohibitions
Smoking bans
Seat belt laws
Helmet laws
Sobriety checkpoints
Cigarette and liquor taxes
Income taxes
Property taxes
Sales taxes
Any and all social welfare programs
HUD
the department of education
thousands of other wasteful federal and state programs
and pork barrel spending of any sort.

That's probably the most intellectually dishonest and lazy statement on the subject that I've ever seen.

BS.

Libertarians are the true conservatives. While the social right has gone off the deep end with spending money like they hate the stuff....buying into the bs that the Constitution is a " living breathing document" to be toyed with. Libertarion/conservatives have not given up on smaller less intrusive government trusting the American people and still believing in personal liberty.

It will be a loooong time before the social right is allowed near the checkbook again.
