Quote: Most of the posters here are Libertarian, far more Libertarian than I am, and for whatever their politics steer well to the Right.
It seems the reason their politics steer to the right of you is they consider economic issues more important than social issues.
Quote: I don't care about people doing things I don't care for like Evangelical Christianity, proselytizing for the Mormons, smoking pot, gays marrying, even using dangerous narcotics, and I don't want others enforcing their hypocritical mores and religious policies on me either.
See, all your big examples are social issues. Most Libertarians I've come across would agree with you on those issues. But, they vote Republican because they care more about economic issues. You don't want government in your social life. Me (and most Libertarians I've come across) are more concerned about keeping government out of our business life.
Rebpulicans = economic Libertarians, social statists Democrats = social Libertarians, economic statists
