Stron Defense. Check. Strong Economy. Check.

Strong Social values.

Ok... Which values? Yours? Mine? His?

Or how about those relating to self reliance, freedom, individual responsibility, honesty, that the Founders left up to We the People instead of codifying in the Constitution or the Federal Code of Law?

OR... do you have something against freedom? It is sometimes messy and people may not live their lives the way you want them to.

You talk as though the government can be completely neutral about moral issues. Hands off.

That is not possible. For instance, homosexuality. Either they’re allowed in the military, or they’re forbidden from being in the military. Either they’re allowed to have “Gay Pride” parades, or they are not allowed to have parades. Either they are allowed to marry members of the same sex, or they aren’t.

And so on.

The government can never be neutral about morality.

What Libertarians want is no government laws regarding sexual morality. It’s their Golden Calf.

And the Founders were perfectly fine with state laws regulating sodomy as well as other moral issues Libertarians want “hands off”.
