Now....what to do about other malum in se behaviors such as drug use and prostitution? So far, society ( American society) has refused to be left defenseless against those particular offenses against society.

How well has that "defense" worked and with what unintended negative consequences?

And are those behaviors less malum in se than the Biblically-condemned practice of neglecting the needs of the poor? What ought the governmental arm of society do regarding that wrong?

This is a conservative forum, it is not a libertarian magazine, and I am not a candidate.

[ConservingFreedom]

Most are drug dealing, addict, whores, big government, tax raising, socialists. Aren’t you following along?

You forgot "God-hating." Please make a note of it.

Thanx

God hating peaceniks.

Reagan was trying to win them over to conservatism

Was he right to do so? Are you following in his footsteps?

This is a conservative forum, it is not a libertarian magazine,

But it seems there are libertarians here - so an FR-posted outreach would address at least some of its intended audience.

and I am not a candidate.

So it's good for conservative candidates to reach out to libertarians but not for conservatives in general to do so? OK ... but that would make the candidates sound kind of disingenuous and sleazy IMHO.

Harry Reid loving. Most Losertarians will do/say anything in order for the donkeys to keep him in power.

Welcome to freerepublic and your short time here, if you are not a conservative, then you may find it annoying to be here.

[ConservingFreedom]

Harry Reid loving.

Where do you get that? Has anyone posted on FR in support of Reid?

[ConservingFreedom]

if you are not a conservative,

I am a conservative.

then you may find it annoying to be here.

Never annoyed, often amused (such as by blatant evasions of posted points).

[Drango]

Peeling of a % of voters from the flank of the GOP in tight senate races just gives the election to the donkeys.

Then the Losertarians come on FR and smugly assert it wasn’t them that lost the election, it was the GOP platform. Watch. It will happen on this thread or the next.

LOSERTARIANS FOR REID 2014

[ansel12]

A conservative that likes to argue against conservatives, in support of an anti-conservative political movement.

I don’t think so.

And retread newbie trolls. How could you - of all the liberal trolls on this thread - forget that?

Do libertarians believe that prostitution and drugs should be legal?

If so, then they are defending drug addiction and prostitution. That’s not me saying that — it’s them.

I am curious as to why you suggest an “honest exchange” Do you really have any intention of changing your mind on this subject?

[BenLurkin]

Look, all you need to do is convince society that Biblically-condemned practices are okay.

Then people will flock to the banner of dismantling the penal codes.

[ConservingFreedom]

Do libertarians believe that prostitution and drugs should be legal?

If so, then they are defending drug addiction and prostitution.

Do conservative believe that tobacco should be legal? If so, does it follow that they are defending tobacco addiction?

Look, all you need to do is

All you need to do is address a few straightfoward points.

Or you could continue to dodge, squirm, and evade.

[BenLurkin]

What exactly do you want me to tell you?

[BenLurkin]

Now you’re getting the idea!

[ConservingFreedom]

So you defend tobacco addiction. Um ... OK; have fun with that.

[BenLurkin]

I’m sorry.

You’re still not getting it.

My bad.
