I do know that to be conservative not to very long ago meant that you agreed with religious people more than leftists.

So leftists are NOT religious?

Sure some leftists are religous. Look at Bill and Hillary. Bill has a Bible bigger than a coffee book table.

I have a cousin married to a USC professor that's a born again Christian. She's a leftist and AntiWar - all the rest. I'm not very religious and consider myself rather conservative and HARD CORE Republican.

That's nice. Thanks for sharing.

That you believed freely available pornography was bad for people and society, not a "right" of the people. That drugs were harmful to people and society, not a "right" for the people. That true freedom is the right of society to restrict that which does harm, not encourage it.

IMO these issues you raise have NOTHING - ZERO to do with politics. They are personal, religious convinctions in nature. Pornography is not harmful to adults. Many of us use alcohol, cigarettes, grass... I have no problem with you and your beliefs and I grant you the RIGHT to believe them, but please don't expect me not to look at Playboy or smoke a little grass.

Yes, you're right. Same with bestiality, prostitution and kiddie porn...which will be the next targets of the left as soon as they convince enough "conservatives" that these are patriotic causes.

What is bestiality? Doesn't sound appetizing. Kiddy porn? No way? We're talking about what ADULTS do. Anything in moderation is no one else's business, as long as I don't hurt anyone else. Well, I still grant you to think and believe as you wish. I'm glad your views constitute a small amount of Americans - and I'm still on the same side of the spectrum as you - the RIGHT side, friend.

You are 100% Right, Libertarians want to be free to do what is right in their own eyes. I have talked to some who said that the Age of Consent should be lowered, Polygamy is Okay, Ect...

Our Founding Fathers understood that Laws were important to ensure that certain unholy members of society did not corrupt the rest. Hence the Laws against Pornography, Sexual Immorality, Adultery, Polygamy, Sodomy Ect...

It was the radical hippies in the 1960's that changed things.

We need to change them back.
