The right to private property is the rock on which a free republic is founded. If you disapprove of the right to private property, please say so plainly.

Yawn. More double-talk. So the right to private property is sacrosanct and should permit people to do whatever they want as long as it's on their own property? Should I have the right to operate a brothel out of my house? What if my house was a twin attached to yours? Would that be OK with you?

You believe that the federal government should come into a local community and force them to accept all kinds of vice which they have agreed, among themselves, that they do not want in their community.

And you claim that social conservatives are the "authoritarians"? Give me a break.

Obviously not, as it would be impossible for the federal government to do so without violating the property rights of one of the parties to this agreement.

Or are you using a definition of "agreement" that does not require all parties to actually agree?

(If so, then I'll need to calibrate whatever language you are using so that I can translate it into English. To assist with this calibration, let's start with your definitions of the words "alone", "sex", and "is".)
