And once more, Allahpundit is assisting this confusion by blowing his Libertarian trumpet. For those of you who do not like wading into the messy social issues, I will point out without foundational social principles, no economic system will ever be safe.
You cannot separate economics from Social mores. You can appear to do so for a short time, but the right to own money or property is a SOCIAL more. If you can't make thievery immoral, then you won't have your money or property long.

You are quite correct. A dunghill is still a dunghill, even if its checkbook is balanced. Without the underpinnings of a Judeo-Christian worldview, our form of government is untenable.
