[Antoninus]

Dressing the reckless "lifestyle libertarian" program up as fidelity to the constitution compounds political opportunism with intellectual chicanery and over reaching.

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.

[Rockingham]

You are on the mark. Among friends from high school and college and in my extended family, marriage and children often led to traditional conservative views and voting Republican. I have also noticed that discussion of children and traditional moral issues tends to bring out a latent conservatism in ordinary Black people. Blue collar Black men are often much like Archie Bunker in their views on life and morality. I find myself in good company when among them.
