To me, Clinton's behavior was much more despicable than the typical adulterous politician on several counts:
1. The behavior occurred at work.
2. The behavior occurred with a subordinate.
3. He lied about the behavior under oath.
These facts make his behavior far worse than simple unfaithfulness to his marital vows.
Is it OK to lie under oath, if you are only lying about sex?
If you are only lying about sex at work?
If you are only lying about sex at work with a subordinate?
Is it OK to lie under oath if it is about something else you think should be OK but some authority has a problem with? Like drug use? At work?

Somehow, when push comes to shove, I think libertarians will advocate for much more than drug legalization. I think they will want drug use to become a protected status and use governmental power to restrict the liberties of employers, insurance companies, and individuals in choosing not to hire drug users, choosing not to insure drug users (or charge them more), and choosing to require drug tests as a reasonable condition of voluntary association or business of any type.
A true libertarian would not restrict an employer's rights to test for drug use or make employment decisions based on drug use.
A true libertarian would not restrict a private school's rights to test for drug use or make admission and retention decisions based on drug use.
A true libertarian would not restrict a private insurer's rights to test for drug use or make coverage decisions based on drug use.
Are you really a true libertarian?
