That's my point. What if I'd prefer my kids not be exposed to Liberal Libertarian plagues and stuff? Prostitutes, Aids, drugs,....They'll have to live in the sludge. Why would I want that?
If I wanted that, I'd vote Democrat.
I knew that was it. Your kids are going to get exposed to all those things anyway (not AIDS...I wouldnt consider that a Libertarian plague BTW)...unless they live in a bubble, which I'll assume they dont. Teaching your kids consequences of their actions is probably a more effective method of having them deal with the things you believe are not moral(your right) then working to abolish them all. Alcohol is legal...what is keeping/will keep your kids from the ABUSE of alcohol?
I wonder.
Let me try to understand this now . . . are you saying that you reject the concept of Liberty the Founding Fathers intended to guarantee to all of us so that big government might have the power to intimidate and punish children for those things you class as immoral and/or improper?
Ouch!
Because, in truth, if that is what you want, then you Should be for legalizing and government regulation of these things. Proof is in the pudding -- on the streets of Anytown, USA.
Ask any kid where to by drugs. They can all get illegal drugs a lot faster then you probably can. Yet, they have problems buying alcoholic beverages. They need an adult to get beer for them.
Children need life-training in right and wrong from their parents, not through intimidation via the guns of government. Part of living free is getting to make your own mistakes. It is under the guise of socialized medicine, etc., that government demands an ever-expanding vote in our personal activities.
Because of all the above -- and much more -- I shall always vote for Liberty and reject government intrusion into any quarter not specifically granted government by the Constitution.
You mean those things don't exist now? How are Republicans getting rid of them?
