You, sir, or ma'am, are my political opponent. Hello there.

Thoroughgoing, politically active Evangelical Christians and other moralists may be only about 15%, but there is much more ground for us take and more of our own to activate among our own.

Totalibertarian stomach and crotch worshippers are fewer, because those who want the freedom to feed all their appetites and whims, are chiefly those most willing to sell their true freedom for the fulfillment vices. Before you boast further, check out how many pay attention to President Browne.

CL, TRG, note people like this. They are useful only to a point.

You, sir, or ma'am, are my political opponent. Hello there. Only on some issues. I assume you have no problem with low taxes, concealed carry permits, separation of school and state, homeschooling, capitalism and property rights.

I rather doubt it. Your numbers are dwindling and will continue to do so.

Well, I don't have anything against people eating fast food if that's what a 'stomach worshipper' is. That's a new one on me.
You misunderstand freedom, then. Just because I want crack legalized doesn't mean I'm going to run out and smoke it. I don't need the law to restrain me. It doesn't anyway when I want to do something that is illegal while not being immoral. (No force/fraud,etc.)

The idea that libertarians (small l) or liberty oriented people argue for freedom simply for the ability to 'do' something themselves is wearing a bit thin.

Perhaps you'd like to accuse some of the liberty defending GOPers on this thread of wanting to sodomize a gay man?

That's consistent with your argument after all.
