Oh, I looked at the earlier part of the thread, you were doing the usual libertarian song and dance routine and arguing against social conservatism and supporting Rand Paul.

Rand Paul: “”I think that the Republican Party, in order to get bigger, will have to agree to disagree on social issues,” Paul advised. “The Republican Party is not going to give up on having quite a few people who do believe in traditional marriage. But the Republican Party also has to find a place for young people and others who don’t want to be festooned by those issues.””

Now I recall your routine, argue against the social conservatives, push libertarianism, and pretend that you are not pushing the social liberalism of libertarianism. That is why you never responded to post 129.

Yes you have, that they also would have to pay for their own partial birth abortions, for their own gay marriages, for their own gay adoptions and bus rides to the military enlistment depot, and to take a taxi across the border when the Border Patrol and INS have been shut down.

Find me some libertarians who think the dope and condoms should be given to them for free. That would be an intellectually inconsistent position on their part. Many or even most libertarians would say that they should be allowed to purchase those things, should they want them, but a claim that they should be provided for “free” seems to be outside of libertarian philosophy, at least so far as it it generally understood. Within the context of my discussion with the other poster, your comment #129 made no sense at all.

You have once again evaded the question. More of your words.

“you are at freerepublic trying to persuade conservatives to move left, and embrace social liberalism.”

Proof, please. Give one example where I argued against social conservatism, or embraced social liberalism. Just one of either. I don’t argue against social conservatism, I argue with you.

So name one of these socially liberal positions I support. Come on, ansel12, just name one.
