"Telling "someone else what rules to make for the use of their private property" is exactly how a community organizes and protects itself. A person either wants community to a more or lesser extent or he doesn't want community at all. Most people freely choose to want community to some extent. And they decide, under a set of cultural and constitutional rules, to what extent." - whilom

Exactly the point on all these threads.
We constitutional libertarians are NOT telling you authoritarian types how to live your personal lives.
We simply want you to obey the "constitutional rules" you cited above so that we can live ours, as we choose.
You seem to have the odd idea that you can tar us as being the authoritarians here. No sale. You are.

I promise to obey the "constitutional rules" as determined by our political and judicial system and to acknowledge that you can live your life as you choose. If you choose to violate the law, you may be punished if apprehended and convicted. Now, on the other hand, conservatives want you to obey the "constitutional rules" so we can live our lives as we choose. If we choose to violate the law, we may be punished if apprehended and convicted.
