Libertarian does not equal conservatism

i would agree.

our founding fathers assumed that all citizens had a faith in god. as such, a government that placed a lot of laws on people was not necessary -- we were all following, or at least trying our best to follow, god's law.

today we have a lot of self proclaimed atheists and others who proclaim a faith but are not practicing it. the government has found it necessary to pass laws to protect us from each other. unfortunately, the government has also passed laws to protect each of us from ourselves.

no laws with out no moral or ethical intentions is a case for anarchy and total chaos.

with freedome comes responsibility.
