I tend to view most of the differences in libertarian/conservative platforms as a trade-off between privacy and morality.
Let's take pornography for example. The only way anti-pornography laws can be enforced is to monitor Internet connections, among other drastic measures. Personally, I abhor pornography and what it has done to young men... (I even met one man who said he could not be attracted to real-life women since he viewed so much Japanese cartoon porn). However, the trade-off in regulation and privacy is not worth it, to me.
I've came to the conclusion that it is not a moral government that is nearly as important to God as an individual's own actions. The individual who committed immoral acts is responsible, regardless of whether there are laws in place or not.
As for the drug laws, it should be noted that libertarians are against taxfunded treatment programs--they say the "social darwinism" effect and your right to shoot any doper trepassing on your property will keep down usage. So please don't equate being immoral libertarianism with being immoral.
The Libertarian Party, though, is full of doo-doo heads.

sorry, that should have said "being libertarian with being immoral"

Of course, in order to advance their flakey social-Darwinism, they would have to essentially outlaw Christian charity. But such is the immoral and disordered nature of their humanist mindset.
