Why are most consitutionalists/libertarians social conservatives?

[Poohcat1]

If you read the Libertarian principles (which can be found on http://www.LP.org, you will see that the thing that Libertarians are for is the freedom to choose. You can choose to succeed, or you can choose to fail. You can choose to do the right thing or you can choose to do something that isn't so right as long as you are willing to accept the penalty. For example, under Libertarian rules per se, recreational drug use would probably be legalized. However, IF you do something that harms another while under the influence of that recreational drug (including alcohol), you are basically screwed.

They believe in people being responsible for themselves and the government restricting its duties to those things that the people or local organizations etc. can not handle. Roads and bridges for example. Simply to complicated if everyone did their own. The military would be used exclusively for defense of our homeland, nothing more.

Personally, although it would be a different country, I see this as being a positive change that will force all citizens to be responsible for their actions. No more free passes to anyone.
