Your constant linking of liberal and libertarian is either laziness or ignorance. Either way it is intellectual bankrupt.

If I believe the government should not outlaw something, like adultry, but I do not engage in it myself. Am I liberal or libertarian or both? Why not outlaw adultry, taking false gods, and coveting my neighbor;s wife. Aren't these harmful to society?

How do you reconcile the limited role of government the libertarians espouse from the socialist programs of the liberals. In short, how do you justify the link in the first place. Or are you just a disruptor?

The original Founders of conservatism and all 50 states did have laws against adultery. Adultery is a crime against one's spouse. Legalizing that behavior has broken down the family in this nation. So, it is completely a liberal concept and a product of the left-wing philosophy of moral relativism to support adultery being legal.

I credit Ol' Sparky with the ability to walk and chew gum at the same time.
