<<<< Thus the war on science which unfortunately has many Libertarian Generals in its ranks.>>>>>

Oh man, where do you get that idea? The war on science is from that christian fundamentalist block of right wing idiots that have switched their thinking to faith. Those people hate libertarians! They are also the polar opposite of libertarians.

AB: I think more so than any other political ideology, libertarians are driven by a small set of easily defined beliefs (mostly based on enhancing personal freedom) with a focus on reality. This is similar to the scientific method: Rely on a small set of easily defined premises (the scientific method) with a focus on data. Libertarians, just like scientists, aren’t afraid to be contrarians. If the data doesn’t support a policy, throw it out.

That’s why many libertarians have rejected the war on drugs, interventionist foreign policy, or promotion of economic equality. In my opinion, more so than any other ideology, libertarians (again, just like scientists) deal with the world the way that it is, rather than the way they want it to be. Whether or not I actually agree with their conclusions, I almost always find their arguments intellectually appealing.

Another damn wacho!
