There’s plenty to criticize with Rand, but . . .

Have you got a version of this guy's "fatal flaw" of Objectivism, by any chance? Could it be that she didn't believe in ghosts?

Since you seem to be here to promote libertarianism, do you know their position on child porn?

You’re funny. “Insightful and serious” are not terms I would associate with a post that was written before even reading the article in question.

You need to be less personal and dishonest, I not only read the article, but had bookmarked it sometime during the last couple of weeks.

Thank you for directing my attention to that first sentence. It’s actually very interesting, and something along the lines of what liberals seem to be trying out lately (patriotism=bowing down, “law of the land”, etc...).

Even though I agree with your post about it not being 1955 anymore, Americans do still recite the pledge quite often, and the flag does still fly in front of a lot of homes and businesses. The writer seems to think it odd that people who would do so would be averse to being governed, or he plays at thinking that’s odd. As our government has grown, our culture has withered. The flag once represented the American people and culture, things beyond the government. That was what made us unique. A foreign power once burned out capital, and still didn’t beat us. That was the America about which de Tocqueville wrote. I wonder if it still exists.

What exactly is the Libertarian position on child porn? Does the person who you will quote on child porn really represent the Libertarian position? Or are there other Libertarians who took that person to task for that position? And do you recognize a difference in the supposed Libertarian position and the position taken by the majority of libertarians here on FR who you endlessly annoy with your paranoid, dishonest BS?

So, no facts, but another personal attack.

If you don’t know what the libertarian position on child porn is, perhaps one of your fellow libertarians knows.

While we are killing time, do you know what the conservative position on child porn is?

Upstairs, a late-night dinner is for sale: grass-fed beef burger with grass-fed bacon and broccoli slaw salad – technically illegal since the cook refuses to get a food service permit.

LOVE IT! My kinda chefs!

You present your facts first, and we’ll see how that pans out.

Good Question.

Good luck getting a straight answer.

Personally, I think it comes down to faith, faith in your fellow man or faith in government.

“another personal attack”

When was my last personal attack?

You aren’t sure what the libertarian position on child porn is are you?

None of the libertarians on this thread are confidently sure of what they are allied to and promoting against conservatives, as they push libertarianism.

I do know quite a bit about the libertarians and their actions to date involving child porn, how is it that you libertarians don’t know?

You seem to have a mental block (yes, that is an attack), you seem to think libertarians are excluded from being Conservative.

Uh huh. If you’re going to smear a large segment of FR as supporters of child pornography, then you should be willing to back up the claim. If you can’t, you should be ready to apologize.

And a D- for drama. You’re not being attacked, but you’re free to continue to play the martyr as you see fit.

Your schtick is tiresome and oddly reminiscent of the sort of race baiting we’ve experienced in politics for the past several years. But instead of accusing your opponents of racism, you accuse them of engaging in personal attacks.

Again, feel free to play the martyr, but I have better things to do with my time

I haven’t smeared anyone, you do know that libertarianism is pro-abortion don’t you?
