I use the word LIBERALtarian to attack those libertarians who primary focus is sex, weed, and porn.

While there are some of us who fall in that category, most see the "victimless crime" issue as a massive waste of law enforcement resources and a big intrusion on personal freedom. My concept of law enforcement just doesn't include guys in ninja suits kicking in doors and using flash-bang grenades to stun those inside. I think more of the "come out with your hands up" approach.

Besides, it would be nice to see the murderous thugs involved in illegal drug dealing out of business. At a stroke we'd eliminate their financial resources and leave them naked to arrest and incarceration (and execution) for violent crimes.

There are some libertarians who use the name because all they want is sex, drugs, and porn, but are really socialists(Bill Maher comes to mind). Those are the libertarians who I have a problem with. On drug legalization,I support legalizing weed, but I'm not sure on harder drugs like crack and heroin. On porn, I think the government should keep it out of schools and libraries. On sex laws like prostitution and sodomy, I tend to support legalizing both but with some restrictions.

"...it would be nice to see the murderous thugs involved in illegal drug dealing out of business."

If you think that legalizing or decriminalizing some "soft" drugs would accomplish that, then you are unaware of how deeply entrenched organised crime is in the bar and retail liquor business.

Making some drugs, or even all drugs legal would not get the thugs out of the business, it would just lower their opperating costs, thus increasing their profits.
