Do you realize how many times liberals have used that definition to dictate how a business owner must use his/her property?

I'm not surprised that liberals and conservatives have a lot in common. The best way to tell a lie is to include as much of the truth as you possibly can. Liberals do this, so do libertarians.

You and I both know that the extreme ends of the spectrum are socialism and anarchy. Neither conservatives nor libertarians want either one. Since libertarians don't want anarchy, they want government to use force to create a valid society just as much as conservatives and liberals do. The difference is the ends to wich government should use force.

The liberal wants the government to use force to create a utopian society. But without G-d they define the utopian society either by majority rule or the rule of the elite.

The libertarian wants the government to use force only to protect people's rights. But without G-d they define those rights either by majority rule or the rule of the elite.

The conservative believes that G-d ordained government to restrain evil and to make it possible for good men to do good. They define good and evil according to G-d's definition as handed down over 3500 years in the Bible. Because their definition is fixed we are protected from the excesses of the majority and the elite that liberalism and libertarianism would subject us to.

Shalom.

If society lived only by those laws, we wouldn't need a single other one, would we? We're not living G-d's laws today, but soon, oh very very soon we all will be.

I rephrase that. We won't need to live by any laws as we'll be in His presence!!!!!!
