“JimRobs problem seems to be with social liberals/libertarians.”

I get annoyed with several Libertarians who say I’m not “conservative,” call me various names like troll or limp d**k or n00b because I hold a conservative position.

They seem determined to convince me that the conservative position is the Libertarian one. If I oppose the legalization of drugs, or porn, or prostitution, or etc., I am not a “conservative,” according to them.

Conservatives believe in the rule of law. But if the power to regulate something specific is not delegated to the Feds then that power goes to the States or the People, so the decisions on drugs, porn, prostitution etc. should be made locally and not federally. In no way does the Constitution imply that there should be no laws against them whatsoever. (IANAL.)
