This is another instance of the libertarian assault on the GOP that emanates from the Cato crowd and that dominated CPAC this year. Ready access to drugs and pornography may be a popular cause among college kids and Millennials, but it has only a small and losing following among the electorate at large. Dressing the reckless "lifestyle libertarian" program up as fidelity to the constitution compounds political opportunism with intellectual chicanery and over reaching.

The specific cases of drugs and pornography are not the issue; they are illustrative of the issue which is the extra-constitutional over-reaching by both liberals and social conservatives. The notion of legally influencing the lyrics of music or the content of books or movies is attractive to some but clearly not constitutionally based. The makeup of school lunches should not be a federal concern any more that the wages paid to adults who should be allowed to freely contract for their work.

All of these issues and their federal solutions appeal to some group somewhere; that's how many of the issues resulted in new laws. The constitution doesn't support this sort of meddling with individual liberty.

How big does your government need to be that will police what every person decides to do to their body or mind?

I’ll bet it is more money than we have. Now what?

[Jabba the Nutt]

You’re missing the point. It’s about the Constitution. Where does the Constitution give the Federal Government authority to prohibit drugs? They had to have a Constitutional Amendment to ban alcohol, why not one for drugs?

[Dead Corpse]

Yep. Dope and the T&A show. That's all libertarians are about. You've got us pegged.

All that other stuff about Capitalism, BoR enforcement including full restoration of RKBA, property Rights, limited government, etc...

That's all just window dressing. Right?

Think before you open your mouth.

The frat house philosophy of the liberal-tarians tends to wear off once they enter the real world. For many of us, it coincided with the birth of our children, particularly if that child is a girl.

Marriage and family tend to civilize people--which is why these institutions are under such heavy assault by the political left and their useful idiot allies in the liberal-tarian movement.
