I value many contributions libertarianism makes to challenging power. But here's why I no longer associate with it
Morals, do you have them?

I don't support libertarians.
Read my thread on them:
http://www.offtopicz.net/threads/libertarians-and-your-liberty.71672/
but it appears you are a supporter of libertarianism in heart?
Here is some wonderful material for you to help you learn ethics and morals!! Lend it to your toady, Man, too.
John Gray: “Humanity is a figment of the imagination”
If you cannot conceive of humanity from an area of knowledge outside science, what reason could there be for thinking that one and only one system of values is peculiarly human?

The Quest for a Moral Compass: a Global History of Ethics
Kenan Malik
Atlantic Books, 400pp, £25
Histories of morality are rarely written in order to inform the reader. When the Victorian rationalist W E H Lecky produced his immensely popular History of European Morals (1869), his goal was to infuse the book’s readers with a sense of the advancing power of human reason. Lecky’s was a story of improvement – the occasionally stumbling but unfailingly heroic advance of rational inquiry against the stultifying authority of custom and the determined opposition of religion. Anything that did not fit in with this edifying tale was mentioned only in passing as a minor detour in the onward march of humankind, or else was ignored.

Since you used a question mark, denoting a question.....the answer is definitely not.
You would have known that if you read my thread on libertarianism.
I doubt you even know what a Libertarian is.
You also didn't know what a neoconservative is.

Did you read the articles you are referring to?
I doubt it
The greater question is does the culture of pk fall behind in morals.
Honor killing.
Baby eating.
Fucking the dead.
Child brides.
Incest.
Charging nine month old babies with conspiracy to commit murder.
Incest.
Death sentences for Christian's for drinking out of unmarked cups.
Govt forces providing the areas to perform honor killings.
Just to much to type.
Almost forgot to mention..state funded terrorism.

And this appeals to an Islamicist like you. mazHur?
That's an argument for secularism. For atheism.
And your lead comment in your post:
Read what you post before you post it.
Comprehend what you post before you post it.
It will help you look less foolish.

Why are you averse to listening to your own people??
Why do you think you are 'superior' than them>|?
Needless to say you are a 'shallow man'!!
I suggest you take that criticism seriously and constructively, mazHur.
You do look like a fool when you post contradictory concepts ...and you do it often.
Ah....the wisdom of an Islamicist that uses atheism in his supporting arguments.
I suspect you'll claim ethics don't exist either because poor people can't afford them?
I told you before, your sophistry sucks.
Wow....just wow.
As I told you Singh is not a Muslim.
Moreover, ever heard the old saying? A hungry man know no manners .....and yet you overfed pig talk of morals and ethics??
He was addressing you maz..Not Singh
I never said Singh was a Muslim.
Said the Mad Man from Karachi that rationalizes his endorsement of terrorism.
Indeed. Singh is an atheist........

mazHur....see how the context makes sense:
mazHur...you are an idiot
There are lees to every wine,,so is atheism contained in every religion,,,
Stone is an idiot...a trolling donkey!

Alpha Idiota, Singh is NOT an atheist but a Sikh by religion,,,
