If you would claim to be purely fiscal, or assert that “social issues” should never be government’s domain, I’d ask a simple question: would you have no problem with a movement to legalize pedophilia?

Yet another round with this article's age old argument based in pure idiocy...American Thinker is really scraping the barrel here.

Really? Leave me alone?

Does a drunk driver on the road count as leaving me alone?

Does a drug dealer, trying to sell to kids and people who steal and rob count as leaving me alone?

Abortion? Not exactly a direct impact on me. But as a man of conscience, I can not simply shrug while some woman caves in her child’s head. It is not only her that is affected.

Does our government go WAY to far with laws controlling everything? Yes. But that doesn’t mean that the answer is to go the exact opposite direction. We will, and must have laws limiting how much our actions can affect another.

Defenders of DUI as a victimless crime(BS) and traffic laws as artificial are a prime example. Whatever they think, their choices affects others. Those others will not sit quietly by while they get abused.

No. Some of the extreme Libertarian philosophies is anything but “leaving me alone.”
