Rand Paul is a Libertarian (AKA “Libertine”). Whereas, that worldly (anything goes) mindset might go with the youth in secular universities...it would NOT be welcome at Liberty. The “Libertarian” views on moral issues like prostitution, drugs would not be allowed by students at Liberty and is inconsistent with the expected lifestyle and values of their student body. IF those were real students, they should be disciplined for bad behavior.

Just curious, do you really think the word "Libertarian" is derived from "Libertine"?

If the idea of "Libertarianism" can be impugned by it's relation to the word "Libertine", can the ideas behind "liberty" also be impugned?

Is it possible that one can have certain opinions as it applies to religion and moral rights and wrongs, and different opinions as it applies to the appropriate use of collective force? For example, could one believe that it is morally wrong to:.....

*hire a prostitute
*cheat on your wife
*drink alcohol
*smoke marijuana
*use the Lord's name in vain
*be greedy
*covet your neigbor's stuff
*masturbate
*have gay sex

....while at the same time believing that we should not use collective force to engage in violence against someone who does such things?
