Palin is not a libertarian. And there’s a big damned difference between a libertarian in the traditional sense and a libertine. Most libertines are the anarchistic Alex Jones Ron/Rand Paul followers.
Do not lump Sarah in with those people.
“Palin is not a libertarian.”
Palin most definitely has libertarian leanings....so she is a Libertarians on many issues. Is she a “hard core” libertarian....no...but she leans hard that way. She needs to shuck that line of thinking. Now is defense of Sarah...she is much better than anything else out there right now....but she still is very flawed....a reason she is such an easy target for the left. She is soft on the homosexual issue....something that is NOT “family friendly” or “Pro God” as advertised here.
“And there’s a big damned difference between a libertarian in the traditional sense and a libertine.”
NO THERE IS NOT! Libertarians would allow legal prostitution, drugs, and vile vice of all sorts under the guise of “liberty.” That is to be a Libertine....if you allow it...you are it.
That is like that tired old arguement that “I am personnally against abortion, but I will not hold that to others.” IF abortion is murder, and you allow “murder” to take place right under your nose...that makes you an accompice. Libertarians are SO hung up on what they call “liberty” they do not consider the damage of what they “allow”.....even when they themselves may not partake.
We are ALL our brother’s keeper. The first recorded murderer used the phrase, “am I my brother’s keeper?” to hide what he had done.
I am for true “freedom.” A truly “free” environment is free from vice. Living in a moral sewer is not “freedom.”
