*Laughing*

The Viking Kitties will have the last laugh, though.

They are issues that will be worked out by the processes of Classical Liberalism, i.e. free and open debate and the consent of the governed.

Wrong. Abortion on demand, homosexual rights, and gun control are in direct violation of classical liberalism.

Wikipedia Classical liberalism (also known as traditional liberalism[1] and laissez-faire liberalism[2]) is a doctrine stressing the importance of human rationality, individual property rights, natural rights, the protection of civil liberties, constitutional limitations of government, free markets, and individual freedom

Please show me where the positions held by Rudy fit into this.

Your opposition to even diuscussing these things (except on your own terms, that is, to ban them because they don’t conform to your vision of what is right) is closer to socialism than anything I can think of at the moment.

Abortion, gun control, and homosexual rights are positions that are incompatible to our Constitutional Republic and traditions.

The exact opposite of today's "liberalism."
