President John Adams; "We have no government armed with power which is capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and a religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
Okay, so where in that Constitution does it empower the government to force all of us to actually be "a moral and a religious" people? Please point that out to me, will you?
People need to learn to read with comprehension. The point that John Adams is making is that we must, as a society, retain our proper moral and religious foundations if such a system is to be expected to maintain itself for long. Why is that? Because we are free. Notice that? Free. And free people can behave immorally entirely because the State is not intended to compel them to be either moral or religious. If in fact the framers had wanted to say that people must be moral and religious they would have written the Constitution so that it forced them to be. They didn't, and it doesn't, and you are wrong.
Our nations sodomy laws were struck down by liberal activist black robed tyrants, Pure leftist activism plain and simple.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Your idea of filling up prisons, at my expense, so that homosexuals can be offered a buffet or smorgasbord of delights to orgiastically revel in just doesn't please me. Let them get a job and find their pleasures at their own expense. It is clear that what you call morality, i.e. providing homosexuals free food, board and access to sodomy partners and all on my dime, is not what I consider moral. Hey maybe I can vote for some people to force you to be moral like me? What would you think of that?
You sound like a card carrying ACLU homo activist.
An ad hominem which means nothing at all. Just because I don't support rounding up all the homosexuals and atheists and sending them off to prison does not make me anything but sensible. BTW, are you going to volunteer to have your entire house and yard filled with cameras monitored by government officials, watching carefully for any indecency or perversion? And since you apparently believe in government enforced religion are you going to make sure your church is registered and approved as appropriately religious and moral? Just curious you know.
Libertarians will not be satisfied until our next generation of Americans are doped up, whored out to pornographers, And sodomized out of existence dead with AIDS.
Boy, you really don't have a clue about libertarian thought, do you? And what an imagination you have. But, I will give you credit. Your responses to this imagined libertarianism which isn't libertarianism is brilliant. Instead of freedom, privacy and parental rights you would give us slavery to the state, which will then institute its ideas of what is moral and religious. I wonder what Obama will do with all this power you insist he should have? I bet I can guess. But, don't complain when he does, because some conservative might mistake you for a filthy, homo-loving libertarian. Wouldn't want that now, would we?
Besides, Nobody wants to lock them up as long as they stay in the privacy of their own bedrooms, It's when they lead each other down the street on dog collars with no clothes on, or when they prance around in the bushes at the local parks and such.
For all I care they can gang up down at the local bath house and work alive on each other like maggots spreading deadly STDs, as long as I don't have to pay for it, or be forced to stand in front of a diversity tribunal and lose my job for opposing and speaking out against it, or for refusing to accept it as normal behavior taught to children.
It's in one of the emanations from a penumbra.
