Well, while I disagree with his "crusade" ...
he is also BATshiat crazy ... He see's himself as a cross between Batman and Paul Revere ...
he has been banned under many guises on FR... he used to threaten legal action against FReepers who disagreed with him on posts... he was the purest definition of "TROLL"...
He is a bad lawyer who has abused the legal system and has ZERO ethics...
But yes, I do disagree/"have a beef" w/ NannyState Socialist Conservatives who want themselves and the Government to be the Arbiters of "Moral Values".
Broadly speaking, the state has two legitimate functions: to protect against outside threats, and to be the arbiter of moral values. Or rather, to be the embodiment of the moral values of the governed, with their consent.
Our proscription of murder is a moral value. I’m presuming you don’t advocate the legalization of murder, and that means that you agree that the state has a role as arbiter of moral values.
We are, therefore, not quibbling over whether a line is to be drawn, but only over where that line is to be drawn.
You seem to see yourself as different in kind from those who want the line drawn elsewhere, but in reality, it’s only a matter of degree.
You seem to think that others are acting wrongfully in advocating a position different from yours — you denigrate them, saying that they “want themselves...to be the Arbiters of “Moral Values”.
However, you and they are doing the same thing: you are both saying, “The line should be drawn here and not there.” And they have every moral and legal right to try and persuade others of the correctness of their arguments.
The correct course of action is to adress their arguments on the merits, rather than trying to avoid that and score a win by disparaging them as “NannyState socialist Conservatives.” It’s good for them, it’s good for the country, it’s good for you and me.
I think its worse than that. Remember he was ordered to undergo a psych eval because of his antics, and he was certified sane. That means he was able to turn off the crazy for the psych eval. That means he does this stuff on purpose. I can understand an insane person doing what he does, but a sane person doing it is scary.
