What Im calling you on is your evasion and using the word freedom while you are selling oppression and liberalism.
________________
You can call as much as you like, the country was founded by many people who were radicals, conservative by these times. I think that Paul is right, these are issues to be determined at the state level.
This nation was founded by conservatives, not libertarians, in fact libertarians would have been lynched as they tried to argue for gay marriage and abortion a homosexual military, and porn and hookers.
A man running for president who expressed an acceptance for homosexuality and gay marriage and possibly even abortion, at the federal level, in the military, federal employment and immigration, would have been thought of as insane, not as one promoting freedom.
Rand isnt running for Governor, Rand is a Senator voting on federal law, and is running for president, gays in the military, abortion on federal lands, gay marriage in the military and in federal employment and in immigration are not state issues, they are issues of bigger and more costly federal government.
