My question is: why do libertarians seem to be so much cozier with Republicans, with whom they partially agree (market deregulation/privatization/etc.) and partially disagree (civil liberties/secularism), than with Democrats, with whom they also partially agree (civil liberties/secularism) and partially disagree (market regulation/gov't programs/etc.)?
Because they know that none of the crazy personal life/religious things the Republicans come up with will ever come to pass so disagreeing with them on those is not really a problem. ;>

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
