I've tried twice to come up with a response this comment, but it's too idiotic for a rational response.

But yet you still had to comment....

libertarians not unlike Rinos (liberals/libertarians in republican clothing) and leftists all enthusiastically support dope legalization, pornography, perversion, abortion, flag burning/desecration, that is a fact. libertarians just support it in the name of "liberty" like that's a legitimate excuse.

Do you support making all of those things a matter for prohibition? If not, how is that different from the libertarians? If so, how are these Prohibitions going to promote smaller government?

Vices are wrong and cause problems, prohibitions are worse.

And who defines "perversion"? Oh wait, in a nanny state, the Government defines what constitutes "perversion."

The typical approach of a short-sighted, outcome-based social conservative (and this is not meant to construe that all social conservatives are short-sighted and outcome-based) is to just turn over the keys to the Government. The problem is that the Government is not always guaranteed to be controlled by social conservatives, but occasionally falls into the hands of social liberals, who then proceed to commit all sorts of acts of "perversion" whilst social conservatives wail and moan and gnash their teeth.

If someone wants to watch pornography or smoke pot in their basement, that's their own judgement call, so long as they don't come running to me to pay for any unintended consequences of their lifestyle choices. Note very well that I am not endorsing the use of pornography or marijuana here but am simply endorsing the right of the individual to make the choice for himself, so long as he or she also accepts personal responsibility for any unintended consequences to himself or herself stemming from said choices.

I see you like to make up "facts"....like twisting Zapata's words and putting them into George Washington's mouth.

Also sad that youcan't see the difference between supporting something and supporting the right to something.
