I'm not that great with computer skills and I copied'n'pasted, then later wanted to find the poster and couldn't. He wrote another one too, really clear thinking. How can libertarians defeat it? They can't. They just rant and say the same slogans over and over.

They don't bother to refute it. They just ridicule and deny it.

It is the morality of the many that guarantees the libertine few the freedom to be as reckessly decrepit and grossly self-indulgent as they want to be. But they refuse to acknolwdge this truth.

They are world-class freeloaders.

Our constitutions principles are not 'slogans'.

Your hero claims:

"the moral structure of Texas society is heavily Christian",
therefore the people can say,
"these are our values, and thus we're expressing them by passing a law".

That idea directly challenges the basic rule of law in a constitutional republic which upholds individual rights to life, liberty and property.

They instead are the values of a democratic tyranny of the majority.
Insisting that such decrees are valid can void our social contract.

Thus, the issue must be resolved. Your attempt at 'moral' tyranny will lose, - you can bet on it.
