Did it ever occur to some people that if we don’t let the government stop people like that, we might lose our rights anyway?

The mass exterminations of the last century were committed by Communists and Nazis, secular political parties that held to atheistic and pagan worldviews, respectively, through the instruments of governments they controlled. Fringe religious groups like these fundamentalist Mormons, the followers of David Koresh, or the Jim Jones group in Guyana are often guilty of abuse of their members. However, such groups characteristically pose no danger to society at large.

It is government, not self-isolated cults, that is the persistent enemy of individual liberty and civil society, a fact our Founding Fathers recognized, but that modern day liberals and psuedo-conservatives have forgotten.

So who the hell was forcing those teenage girls into the beds of middle-aged men? The government?

What kind of individual liberty do those brainwashed girls have?

You and you ilk don't give a damn about them, in fact I suspect your kind is sorta jealous.

Bump what you said.

Thanks for that. I was beginning to think I was on a liberal forum instead of FR.
