It’s the lack of moral base that keeps me from calling myself libertarian. Abortion and homosexuality are wrong. I don’t see that legalizing drugs and prostitution are positive things. But boy I sure would love to see the federal government go under the surgeon’s knife and get rid welfare, the Dept of education, and the IRS.

LOLOL!!!! Just for starters!

One thing that perplexes me is secularists (e.g., Libertarians, et al.) say that you don't need God in order to have a moral base. Considering the universality of the moral law, I wonder what "secular" (finite, contingent, man-made) thing can serve as the basis for moral law.

I'd be willing to entertain all proposals!!!
