The nanny-state Republicans hate libertarians so much they don’t realize they are heading in a direction that is worse than libertarianism. In order to spite libertarians, they want to abandon conservatism and leap headlong towards tyranny.

Bull Cheese. Was it tyranny when all 50 states had anti-sodomy laws? Were we under tyranny when for over 200 years America was a moral nation with moral laws?
What is especially apalling about you libs is your smugness. You really believe the standard by which America grew and prospered for over 200 years was flawed and now that we are ruled by the left instead of the right you can gloat at how we conservatives are getting what we deserved.
Eff off.
“Was it tyranny when all 50 states had anti-sodomy laws?”
No, as there is no Constitutional prohibition against the STATES making those laws. Instead, if you argue that the FEDERAL government, without Constitutional authority, should make laws governing those areas, then yes, that is heading towards tyranny.

Who is a lib? I am a conservative.
Many libertarians also think kids are just little adults and should have all the same rights. It can be disgusting to think about what that means and how it can be easily abused by adults.

“”For example, teenagers have rights of informed consent for important medical decisions like chemotherapy and heart transplants, but are not permitted to access birth control, get cosmetic surgery, play violent video games and watch rated R movies, stay out past 8 pm, drop out of high school, drink, smoke, or have sex without fear of criminal penalties. Insofar as teenagers have the requisite capacities to make complicated life-and death medical decisions, they ought to be similarly considered competent to make less complicated and more trivial decisions for themselves.””
