Bingo! Now, of course, you get plenty of people who internalized the Free Love madness when they were young, played around with their lives--and, to be sure, the lives of their various "partners" and various children--and would today be leftist Democrats . . . except that they made a little money along the way, so they listen to Boortz and call themselves conservative. These are the people who are about to give Rudy Giuliani the GOP nomination. I just hope their kids have also signed on to Team Obama.
Social conservatives oppose cohabitation because it is a sin.
Neoconservatives oppose cohabitation because they ran the numbers and found it to be bad public policy.
Populist conservatives oppose cohabitation because it is a scandal to the families and the neighborhood.
Conservative libertarians oppose cohabitation because they believe that free individuals who enter into important relationships should do so with formal contracts.
So how is it there are self-described conservatives that support cohabitation?
Did I miss a flavor of conservatism? Do all libertarians consider themselves conservative? Even the pothead libertarians?
Yep!
Even here at FR we are overrun with people who are totally confused as to what a conservative is as evidenced by the overwhelming number of libertarians and outright liberals who seem to think they belong here because they don't vote for the 'Rats.
The average libertarian today is a very liberal anarchist who doesn't want to pay taxes. There's nothing conservative about this, it's simply motivated by selfish greed. They have confused "limited government" with zero government.
Then there are the FRiberals who really don't know what they believe but they know they don't like the Clintons and they have decided that conservatives have "had their foot on the neck of the GOP for too long." They want to elect politicians who look, act and sound just like 'Rats, but have an "R" after their name.
