From an interview in 2004:

“This media climate helps explain why some people call me ‘that conservative on ABC.’ I'm hardly what I would call conservative. I happen to think consenting adults should be able to do just about anything they want. I think prostitution should be permitted. (If quarterbacks and boxers make money with their bodies, why can't a woman make money with hers?) I believe homosexuality is perfectly natural, that the drug war should be ended, that flag-burning and foul language should be tolerated, and most abortion should be legal. This is conservative? Real conservatives should be insulted.”

I have. Almost certainly on Hannity.

He said that his belief in limited government required him to believe that abortion should be legal.

That is so wicked and STUPID, I find it hard to believe that he displays so much intelligence most of the time.

From what I understand, he (like many other libertarians) thinks it is an issue for the individual states to deal with.

I agree with him. Those of us who want to make murder of those not yet born to be the equivalent of murder of those who have seen the light of day should be able to take the issue to our state legislatures.

Libertarians are the natural ally of actual conservatives on many issues. It's a shame that so many here have nothing to contribute to the discussion beyond name calling.
