Libertarians are no more supportive of the Obama nanny state than they are of the Giuliani nanny state.

The same faux reasoning that you use to justify prohibition against vices that you do not like have been applied to beer, demon rum, Coca Cola, Big Macs, comic books, and religion. I suppose your slogan should be, “it’s not fascism when we do it.” Government is not going to create heaven on earth. But it is pretty adept at creating infernos, and that’s where your reasoning inevitably leads. Obama and Pelosi rationalize their positions in exactly the same way as you.

I don't know WTF you are talking about with your mixed metaphors, and I don't think you do either; I never heard of anyone spending their life in rehab getting unhooked from Big Macs and/or Comic books. No one robs a convenience store to get money to buy a Coca Cola, or beer...or even rum.

Regigion is spritual and has nothing to do with any of this...I don't know what you're smoking, but your reply has nothing to do with anything the rest of us have been talking about.

Pssst...I really don't care if you're a libertarian, but if you are one, then you should defend my right to speak my opinion on the subject. If you don't, then you're just another progressive...it's simple as that. It's in the Constitution...go read it.
