Yep. Dope and the T&A show. That's all libertarians are about. You've got us pegged.

All that other stuff about Capitalism, BoR enforcement including full restoration of RKBA, property Rights, limited government, etc...

That's all just window dressing. Right?

Think before you open your mouth.

The scorn can be easily turned around. In your view it seems that unless conservatives buy into lifestyle libertarianism, conservative support for limited government and economic freedom is of no merit. Of course, the entire lifestyle libertarian argument about federal versus state power is disingenuous because they also want anti-drug and anti-pornography laws at the state level repealed.

Although all libertarians (and virtually all conservatives) want economic freedom and capitalism, lifestyle libertarians reject laws limiting abortion, drugs, and extreme pornography and isolationist libertarians want to withdraw from the world and shrink the military to a border constabulary force. I have seem bitter arguments among libertarians on those issues.

Ultimately, Christianity is philosophically libertarian in that it advocates traditional morality and insists that we possess free will and are responsible for our conduct. By the late 19th and early 20th Century, standard Christian teaching in England and the US advocated both economic freedom and laws supporting traditional morality.

Nor should it be thought that libertarian license for drugs, abortion, and extreme pornography somehow must lead to support for economic and political freedoms. The reverse is often true. Like many of today's liberals, that species of socialists known as Communist advocated abortion on demand and rejected traditional morality as bourgeois. In a similar foreshadowing of today's Democratic party leadership, the Comintern had so many homosexuals that it was wryly referred to by many communists as "the Homintern."
