Interesting article, thanks for the link.
(Un)fortunately, I am 1) non-religious 2) do not believe the Bible to be the end-all of right vs. wrong (it IS a good basis, as much as many of the World’s religions) 3) can read/comprehend/understand/debate the plain words of the Constitution.
Now, you are more than welcome to your ideas about the (L) Party. Those which you have stated I can only reply, WTF?
Aside from a few planks, IMHO can be ‘remedied’, I can’t see where you’re coming from: Fed. gov’t has few/defined roles, all else, as Rights only exist with the Individual, belong to the People or the State to which they authorize certain tasks. How is that not following the principles/vision?
I, for one, am glad we have evolved past the notion of disemboweling Citizens, depriving TWO (possibly) people of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit, for the ‘sin of sodomy’.
If anything THAT flies in the face of the Constitution and all it stands: Free Peoples able to do what they wish, at any time, as long as it does not interfere or abridge the Rights of others, w/out the threat of the all-mighty State.
Moral absolutes are practically the same in every monotheist religion, including some that are not, such as Buddhism.
Hedonists such as yourself want “freedom” - but what you really mean is “licence”. You’re in the same group as others who want such “freedom” - pedophiles, bestiality practitioners, those who want polygamy legalized and incest practitioners. They all want “freedom” to do what they want.
Without moral absolutes based on universal religious principles, we have nothing but a frenzied free for all of the most vicious less-than-animal life, and since according to people such as yourself, there are no boundaries at all, so off into the abyss we go.
You’re a clever little libertarian, what with bringing in disemboweling and all. Of course, since homosexuals are now running the government, disembowelment is okay as long is it’s their child victims getting disemboweled, such as Jesse Dirkhausing.
And, btw, I get my “ideas” about the LP from their website and reading the comments of self identifying libertarians.
The Libertarian Party is the official Pro Vice party.
