Where did you ever get the notion that it’s OK to have this sort of control over other folks’ lives? Why, I bet it was that Progressive Democrat, Woody Wilson, wasn’t it? And you bought into his lies, didn’t you? As I told pissant, there is no reason on earth for you to NOT go out and preach against drug use (but don’t forget “demon rum” when you do) and use every ounce of moral suasion you can muster, but there is EVERY REASON to renounce the use of government force to do the job for you. Do you call yourself a Christian? If so, can you point out to me where Jesus told His followers to get laws passed to prevent sin? I simply cannot find it ANYWHERE in my Bible. In fact I found quite the opposite. I find where He says that we are supposed to go forth and BE WITNESSES to His saving GRACE. How does that stack up to trashing our Constitution by getting laws passed to do the work that rightly falls on the Church?

The same place that says it is OK to have control over people's lives where Gay Marriage is concerned, Murder is concerned, Deviancy is concerned, Lying is concerned, child abuse is concerned, etc. etc. etc.

God's word, the Bible.

The same book the founder's used to guide them through the process of designing the legal structure of this country and many of the State laws of the time.

But libertarians, mistakenly believe that the founders didn't have this "problem", but were instead libertarians themselves.

They weren't as history shows.

They were Christian men who relied on their understanding of God's word containing both laws for men's lives and describing the basic selfish evil nature of man, to design a system the protects against the selfish nature of Man and creates a framework, where a basic morality was meant to be a guiding factor.

Libertarians are basicly the greedy, anarchist, ungodly version of the GOP.

Not that the GOP does not have it's problems, it does, and we are doing the best to correct those problems, but the Libertarian party is not the solution.

Oh, where to begin? Hmmmm...

Homosexual “marriage” is wrong because it implies family. Families often involve CHILDREN. Since homosexuals cannot reproduce their own kind, there must be recruitment. This involves the participation of children (not unlike that homosexual professor or whatever he was at Duke, offering up his FIVE YEAR OLD foster child on the internet for sex with anyone who had the right price). Children are NOT capable of giving informed consent to such acts; thus they are VICTIMS of these predators. Thus, such “marriage” can rightly be outlawed. (And I am no longer willing to allow homosexuals to hold sway over the word “gay.” They are NOT gay (happy, even giddy sometimes); they are mostly miserable and to allow them to further corrupt the language as they have corrupted society is unacceptable to me and morally WRONG!)

Murder, lying (mostly), child abuse, deviancy (involving others INVOLUNTARILY, including animals), rape, robbery, et cetera, all have one thing in common, which is why they are (almost) universally banned: THERE IS AN INJURED PARTY who has either not GIVEN consent to be part of that activity OR is incapable, either by age or mental capacity, of giving voluntary, informed consent.

Drug usage is a VOLUNTARY, consensual activity. Please try again.

(Oh, and by the way, I am NOT a Libertarian. I am a STRICT Constitutionist.)

“God’s word, the Bible.”

What Bible would that be? I’ve read the Bible many times, and cannot find anywhere in the Bible, after the collapse of the Kingdom (OT), that it ever says Christians are supposed to use government to force their moral views on other people. All I can find are verses telling Christians to obey the government and pray for peace and freedom to worship as they believe.

Perhaps you can point to one of those verses that says, “Christians should influence the government to make all people behave as thought they were Christians, whether they are or not,” or something like that.
