Sorry, I had my words mixed up with each other forgetting that monarchist is anything but libertarian.

Actually there are libertarian monarchist sympathizers out there (well, at least minarchists who could support it, or something)...

Well, Hans Hermann-Hoppe is actually an anarchist, but he does make the salutary point that the differing time-preferences of politicians in 'democratic' systems and monarchs lead to different results, keeping all other aspects of government equal.  A politician will do or say anything in order to be elected, regardless of the long-term effects on the country, while a monarch actually has an incentive not to do things that will ruin his country in the long term.

Is Lew Rockwell really social conservative? I'm asking this since I look up Wikipedia and it says he's a Catholic which could affect his views on abortion and gay marriage if he's more of a practicing Catholic and not a Mario Cuomo Catholic. Also, I  search up for some articles about his views on abortion and all it pop up was articles of contributors to articles ob his website.

Lew Rockwell actually has pretty socially "liberal" views himself (though he disapproves of drug use and prostitution even though he wants them to be legal).  "Paleolibertarians," including several regular columnists at Rockwell's site, are often devout Christians and usually pro-life, and disapprove of things like gay relationships (despite still wanting them to be legal).
