You are much more dedicated to your agenda than I realized.

I know. It’s ridiculous. He can’t come up with anything to back up what he says. The whole reason the left had to take it through the courts is because they couldn’t get their way otherwise. That’s their favorite tactic.

ansel12 seems to think that it is the job of the federal government to force every one to think and behave as he thinks they should. Other then abortion which should be outlawed at the federal level I say let states and decide what is lawful behavior and what is not. Now if the feds make sodomy illegal I would not have a problem with that either.

Still 0-3. You can’t do it, and there’s a reason you can’t do it.

Are you stupid?

Anti-abortion, fine, but the federal government just allowed gay marriage in the military, and the federal government and immigration.

Why do you support the homosexual agenda at the federal level?

You should like libertarians for one reason. They desire a small Constitutional government. Even if they are socially liberal. If the people were once again held responsible for their life choices with out big government picking up the tab, I strongly suspect Christian morality would make a big comeback.

You sure are caught up in an awkward tale and calendar.

So you were five when “”Though pretty young, I remember the shock that accompanied the ruling. I remember my parents being stunned. My mother explained it to me.””

Then you post a desperate mess here, “”I guess my parents were just oddballs for being informed on the subject. They never seemed like oddballs, or extraordinarily informed on any subject. We were pretty much a regular middle-class family in the South. I’ll ask around some more.””

The five year old, you is claiming that they were informed for some odd reason on the topic that you say I wasn’t, yet in the same sentence you admit that normally they were not informed very well, but of course at age five you are clearly recording and absorbing all this, so that 40 years later you can use it on this thread.

A lot of what you are was uncovered tonight.

“ansel12 seems to think...”

You are already assuming quite a bit there. I actually agree with him on most issues, but he’s dedicated to spouting off things that just aren’t true. He also makes accusations that he can’t back up, and won’t admit he’s wrong, though it’s painfully obvious.

I’m not worried about the feds making Sodomy illegal, at this point I’m worried about them making it compulsory.

It doesn't work that way when people vote.

Libertarianism creates more voters for the (economic) agenda that we all hate.

1) A single leftwing social position I am promoting.

2) A single social conservative position I am attacking.

3) Anything that backs up your assertion that the public didn’t know abortion meant the baby dies prior to Roe.

You can’t do any of the three. Not a one. Pitiful.

Leave us alone.

Did you not read where I said a federal law against sodomy is fine with me? Personally I really do not care what goes on in the bedroom, however I am strongly opposed to open homosexuals serving in our military, ergo the federal law outlawing sodomy is the quickest easiest way to end that practice. Plus such a law would prevent same sex married and a host of other problems. So yeah, I am very much opposed to the homosexual agenda. Abortion and homosexuals are the two issues where I side with social conservatives. The other issues (drugs, prostitution, contraceptives, etc) not so much.

You can’t do any of those. Still 0-3. The good news is that your batting average can’t go below .000.

You are going to have to explain your thinking on that. How can wanting to return to a small Constitutional government lead to a big statist government? Something does not compute.

Sorry about post 475, I hit a button.

The military, immigration, the entire Federal government was homosexualized this month, gay marriage, the whole bit, you missed that?

I can give you the ansel12 wisdom on this. Libertarians are “commandos of the Left”. They lure conservatives away from limited government because they are really liberals promoting a leftwing agenda by stealth. Mitt Romney and John McCain are examples of libertarians who do this. It increases liberal voters.

Yes, really.

Yes very bad news, the homosexaul agenda is really an anti-Christain agenda and I think it is doomed to fail. I think the gays are badly over playing there hand.

Yeah I read most of this thread before I began posting. There is a huge difference between a small l libertarian such as Rand Paul and a card carrying member of the Libertarian Party. I see the small l libertarian as a classical liberal not a wacko LP member.

You are part of the right, as much as the other (or mine) is this or that, at least we are on the same team.
