Very clever Al but there you are wrong about what libertarians believe, especially about social issues.

I expected more research from you. You should be sure your brain is engaged before operating your mouth (or keyboard).

Seriously, if you want to learn what libertarians REALLY believe, I'll be glad to educate you.
