Aren't all the sexually libertine countries Nanny States?

Ask yourself this question: Why do Nanny State liberals invariably support sexual libertinism? Didn't Chuck Schumer & Howard Dean applaud the Lawrence sodomy ruling? Don't all the liberal women in the Senate (Hillary, Murray, Boxer, Feinstein...) applaud Roe vs. Wade? Isn't the gay agenda wildly popular in Nanny enclaves such as Sweden, San Francisco, Massachusetts, and Canada?

Who do so many Nanny Staters support all this crap? Is it because they believe in freedom, liberty, and limited government? Is that why Schumer & Dean & Hillary & Ted Kennedy & Russ Feingold & Nancy Pelosi, etc. etc. etc. all support sexual "liberation"?

Ummmm, NO!

They all support this crap because they understand that the net result of a society awash in such things is......a massive NANNY STATE. Once the family starts breaking up, cries go up for the Nanny State to replace all those missing daddies and mommies. Once people start fixating on sex as the focus of rights, they forget about such non-libido matters as free speech, free press, property rights, gun rights, and so forth. A society awash in such cliches as "if it feels good, do it" or "it was right for me at the time" or "keep your laws out of my bedroom" won't pay much attention to government intrusion into other areas.

So a good rule of thumb is this: A society that's libertarian on sex (and you can probably add in drugs) will be viciously anti-libertarian on everything else. Liberals are the useful idiots of the communists, and libertarians are the useful idiots of the liberals. Nanny Staters look at one another, smirk, and high five one another every time a libertarian applauds a ruling such as Lawrence.

And so as the Western world has grown more sexually libertine since the sixties, it's governments have grown exponentially, it's Nannies have grown more powerful, all consuming, and self-defining. The more sexually libertine a region is, the more Nannyish it is. Scandinavia & the Low Countries? They're dreamlands for Larry Flynt-types, and the West's most Nannyish lands. As Britain, France, and other countries have lost their Christian character, a Nanny State has replaced it. Spain? Why not ask yourself why the Socialists there are pushing homosexual liberation and abortion. Canada? Trudeau built modern Canada as a socialist, gun controlled, Nanny state where all forms of sexual diversity are welcomed. Or maybe you could visit Cindy Sheehan's Nanny pal Hugo Chavez in Caracas, which Chavez has declared a sodomy-friendly place.

And how about within the borders of America? Are Lawrence, Roe, and gay "marriage" popular in the rugged individualist, limited government states? Nope. They're popular in the states that supported Nanny John Kerry, or in the case of gay "marriage", less unpopular. Do you seriously think San Francisco could ever be anything OTHER than a Nanny State?

BTW, these sexually libertine areas also become soft on national security, border enforcement, and other such virtues of strength. Can you imagine a sexually conservative area trying to impeach President Bush for fighting the Muslims? Can you imagine Canada or Sweden becoming forces to be reckoned with in the war against terror?

Think again.
