I would like to have some libertarian explain to me any aspect of social conservatism that is anti-liberty. Conservatives ask for everyone to have an equal right to representation on how issues of life, sexuality, etc… are dealt with in public. It is the federal court that has ruled to dictate that innocent life can be murdered and that no law can be made to stop it, and it the alliance between the progressives and the libertarians that claim that all types of sexual behavior must be specially protected by the government and any opposition to that must be punished. That is hardly a pro-liberty position.

The thing about “libertarianism” is that it would be completely workable if the individual had INTERNAL behavioral controls, which would preclude the need for “societal” controls on behavior.

Another aspect is that the total removal of all government alleviation of consequences for dumbass individual decisions would lead to a lot fewer of said dumbass decisions being made.

Where exactly in the US Constitution is the enumerated power for Congress to regulate sexual activity?

Social conservatives generally get all bent out of shape about homos.

When you want to repeal the plethora of victimless personal-conduct laws, get back to us.

Conservatives ask for everyone to have an equal right to representation on how issues of life, sexuality, etc… are dealt with in public.

Liberals ask for everyone to have an equal right to representation on how issues of expenditure, employment, etc are dealt with in public. The two positions are equally based on commonism, and equally unacceptable.
