"You can't legislate morality" is one of the great lies of our times. We have been legislating morality for hundreds of years, "Thou shall not murder" "Thou shall not steal" etc...
The mistake on both parts is that the libertarian/liberal fools themselves with the lie of “moral neutrality”,
and we make the mistake of not recognizing that fallacy.
That in a nut shell is the main problem with Libertarians, control that which is good, and ignore that which is evil, how can Bortz or Stassel, watch an out of control gay pride parade and say it is okay.
| What we have from the LIBERALTARIANS is "legislating morality" is bad... but "legislating immorality" is ok. "You can't legislate morality" is one of the great lies of our times. We have been legislating morality for hundreds of years, "Thou shall not murder" "Thou shall not steal" etc... |
I'm just now coming across this article. Not only is the criticism of Boortz and liberals spot on, but the FR comments are worth reading as well.
By the way.. A belated Merry Christmas to all and may 2014 be a Great New Year!

As you wrote, laws against murder legislate morality, and society has legislated morality for a very long time. It isn’t whether or not morality will be legislated. It’s about whose morality wins out.
I’d argue that Judeo-Christian morality has brought far, far more good to Western Civilization than the pagan crap that now claims to be progressive. The immoral left isn’t advancing or progressing. It’s attempting to return us to man’s barbaric, pagan past.
