“I don’t believe Paul wants to legalize drugs or prostitution or immoral behavior for the sake of allowing them to proliferate within our society.”

Maybe not, but the results would be the same. The US would turn into Amsterdam.

Conservatism is not libertarianism.

So, what you are saying is that we must pass federal laws to protect ourselves and society from ourselves as we are incapable of making informed personal decisions or guiding ourselves at the state and local level?!? Nancy Pelosi and Michelle Obama would be so very proud of you. That is, afterall, the same argument they have been shovelling down our throats.

I never stated Conservatism and Libertarianism were identical. Constitutional Conservatism does share A LOT of the same views as Libertarianism. Perhaps small government, pro Constitional, pro-personal freedoms (including firearms), low tax, pro-property rights, pro-capitalism, and pro-personal responsibility viewpoint is not Conservative enough anymore. I guess, I never got the memo!
