My main sticking point with libertarians is just the morality issue.State Issue.
The Federal Government was not constituted for the purpose of instituting Morality among the Sovereign States; it was constituted for the mutual defense of the Sovereign States.
It is not the Governor of the States; it is their Servant.

I admit there is a part of me that hates the thought of giving up a national moral standard on issues. If I can bring myself to do this and come fully to the state's rights position for EVERY common law area, I have to say I still would be bothered by the libertarians....not because of their position on state's rights, but on their refusal as a group to stand and declare that every life is sacred, drugs destroy lives, morality matters and a small group of reprobates can corrupt much larger groups of people. You see, the founding fathers did not shy away from declaring God is the ruler of nations and people in society need to have strong ethics and that includes strong laws to maintain this morality (at the state level, of course).
