The founding fathers were libertarians and also Christians. Lots of people around here can’t seem to get over their love for killing people that they fear.

Lots of people around here, such as the drug warriors, build up the federal government with their laws that they pass to control the behavior of people they don’t like.

Fools. George Washington told us not to do what we are doing all around the world with our military. But hey, don’t you feel better to watch people blown up? Don’t you feel better knowing girls, as well as boys, can now attend madrassas and learn to hate us?

We should be sending bibles and missionaries to change their culture one person at a time, not give them an excuse to recruit people who don’t like the presence of foreign troops.

You religious conservatives put your faith in government instead of God to change the culture. Only God can change hearts and minds.

Your laws only succeed in making a stronger police state and protecting the profits of criminals.

I realize this reply is an exercise in futility because conservatives like to cut their nose off to spite their face. Or, in other words, they like to build up the government with their “good intentions” that will one day turn on them. That day is probably sooner than you think.

No they weren't. Libertarianism is not classical liberalism. Libertarianism is a modern, Romantic perversion of classical liberalism.

Such a shame that that stupid, ignorant fool Thomas Jefferson had to go and ignore Washington's advice, now isn't it? Or rather, it could just be that the Founders never advocated rolling over while those who hate you try to kill you. Yeah, I think that's it.

Face it, you anti-war people live in a stupid, deluded, self-centred little dream world that has no approximation to reality. Do you really think that the Muslims didn't hate us until we started supporting Israel or having bases in Saudi Arabia? Are you really THAT stupid? Are you really THAT blinkered and blinded to the realities of the world? Time for you to get on the clue train, buddy. They hate us because we are not like them. That's why they pirated American ships and sold captive American sailors as slaves in 1800, and that's why they attack us now. Not because of these stupid little Walter Mitty-like fantasies that you Ron Paul idiots have concocted.

Wrong - it's you libertarians, with your complete and utter inability to SELF-govern, who create the "need" for big, intrusive government. Back when the country was basically exactly what we "religious conservatives" would want it to be, we also had a much larger portion of actual liberty. Libertarians are the enemies of the liberty they claim to love.

Rather, it's just that conservatives are actually able to process the world as it really is, and human nature as it really is. Libertarians, on the other hand, live in a fantasy world where human nature is good. Libertarians simply don't have a clue about the realities of the world around us. Libertarians live in a world where privatising all the roads would work. Conservatives understand that such an idiotic action would result in massive intrusions into the liberty of individuals by other individuals. Libertarians eventually become conservatives when they grow up.
