If libertarians spent as much time defending civil liberties as they do economic

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

This entire premise assumes that libertarians have any real strength to begin with.

I think we do. Perhaps not the ideological hard-core, but certainly there is a huge segment of the population that leans libertarian, if it's broadly defined as being economically "conservative" and socially "liberal".

Every time I define myself "broadly" like that you attack....is it the libertarian way to attack those who feel they fit in your broad definition?
