[ Agreed. Why would any self-described libertarian WANT the government involved in personal arrangements as intimate as marriage?
Runs extremely counter to that whole “smaller, less intrusive government” thing. ]
Of course they squeal like little pigs about how supposed evil it is to want limited small government... And how the small government types are homophopbic....
Last time I checked Limited government lacks the tools to round people up and ship them into camps....
They want their large government stop “being hateful of people who are different”... but what happens when their lagre government starts telling them what to eat and where to live....
I would rather live in an environment where my neighbor hates my guts for how I live my life, but if they get elected to a public office cannot use the tools of government to harass me... and if they do they get booted out for abuse of power....
Liberals would rather live in an environment where they tell my neighbor not to hate me under penalty of law and regulation and are perfectly fine with this snowballing of power within governemnt until it is too late and they realize they have cut their own damned throats... because they are damned fools...
The “BLT Sammich” crowd had better wake up because they are always going to be a minority no matter how much they pervert the education systems and try to make the exception the norm becasuse in the process of trying to force their ways upon others using the tools of government and growing the tools of government it will by law of cyclical nature of history will turn on them and will be their own downfall. Because they are damned fools who don’t realize the Bullied will become bullies and they will eventually becomes extict when the Bullied majority gets sick and tired of their crap. The Bullied majority will have easy access to their recently installed levers of power....
It will not end well for them...
“Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it...”
Agreed.
“Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it...”
Agreed.
Very VERY well said Grace.
THAT is how you explain Libertarianism to people, we should NOT embrace big government when the pendulum swings back to our side.
Power Corrupts and being on the right doesn't make you immune.
