&gt; "Libertarians are just Republicans who smoke pot"

Right, libertarians oppose drug prohibition. Though oddly enough, this article claims the opposite.

But do Republicans oppose military interventionism? Corporate protectionism like the bank bailouts (not to mention the Federal Reserve in general)? How about the US spending hundreds of billions of dollars every year to maintain its large standing army? Domestic spying? What about abusive police tactics like "stop-and-frisk" or interior border checkpoints? What about supporting marriage equality, or even just gay rights in general?
