I've arrived late to the party, but I agree with the libertarian economic model. I'd be happy to answer attacks to it, so long as they don't develop into "end of the world" slippery slopes of nonsense like the one posted above.
As to the original question: It has always seemed to me that conservatives favor corporate solutions to problems, while the liberals favor government solutions. What the libertarian party recognizes, and what I believe, is that neither is your friend; they both want your money and they both want to take advantage of you. Would you rather be a $2 hooker, or be date raped?
And ustwo:
but I think they are very naive with their foreign policy, or the lack there of. Since this is the sort of thing that gets nations killed in the long run, I can't accept it even though I’m quite happy with them in most other areas.
Assuming that your basic premise is true (which I don't believe it is) what's wrong with getting nations killed? It's not like it's your brother or something. My allegiance is to my freedom; I don't care whether it's under the USA or the PRC so long as my rights are respected.
And yes, I'm in favour of killing copyrights and patents. If companies want to spend hideous amounts of money protecting their software from college students and rival companies let them, they will be priced out of business.
