The people who created this nation would have lynched a libertarian calling for homosexualizing the military, abortion, gay marriage, and legal prostitution etc., etc.
America was so social conservative the it is difficult for even a conservative to imagine it today.
No, Democrats lynch. Conservatives, in cases where hanging is called for, hang legally after due process.
People back then calling for everything on that list would have most likely been banished west, or simply have shut up and vanished into New York’s libertine street society.
Yes, because the culture at the time was wise enough to realize certain actions have consequences. They were a moral people, and there was a good reason for it. They had thousands of years of wisdom behind them.
IF all social programs and controlling laws were eliminated today, people would be falling like flies - but the country would re-learn from it. They'd quickly learn certain actions and behaviors lead to bad ends, and they'd learn not to tolerate it as a nation.
Those who, after the enlightenment, still chose to do these things, would be outcasts. That alone would force them to re-learn the errors of their ways. If they even tried to FORCE their behaviors on anyone else, it would be THEM who denied other people their right to be a moral, wiser, and freer people.

Don’t miss a chance to bitch about the ‘libertarian demons’, Ansell2! Now, go find me ONE, just ONE reference to any of the things you mentioned above...those issues didn’t EXIST then, not in the discussion to form this nation.
Some of you are dense. If Libertarian leaning citizens are all Liberals, they’d be democrats instead of republicans!
Ummm, prostitution WAS legal then. In fact, hookers followed the Army around to service them at night.
