I read all of them and still did not see evidence for what you are claiming. Going by what I read I get the impression that HiTech opposes abortion and gay marriage morally and politically. If you have been seeing this for years then you should be able to document something a little more specific.

Now I do agree with you that libertarianism is a moral cop-out on these issues. I have heard plenty of “Christian” liberals claim to be against abortion but then say they are just not for using the law to force their views on others. This is a complete misunderstanding of the role of law and government. Protecting the sanctity of life and opposing the criminal enterprise that the abortion industry is a part of, does not constitute forcing a religious view on someone else. Otherwise, having laws against murder, robbery, theft, etc. would also be forcing our religious views on others too. This is essentially the libertarian position, which is practically no different than the liberal position legally.

So we agree on that.

Post 23 was his first post to me, does it seem a little strange as a response to post 22, from a pro-life, pro-marriage conservative?

Libertarians support gay marriage by opposing any action whatsoever, they oppose DOMA, and a Constitutional amendment, and their presidential candidate is calling to drop opposition to gay marriage, as he runs for the office that oversees, gay marriage in the military, in federal employment and immigration.

First that’s a lot of overgeneralizing lies.

Second you ignore the gospel. Government has presumed to do what only the church actually could.
