Two whiny little anti-libertarian punks, showing off their own irresponsible behavior. How typical.

LOL The libertarian poster boy shows up to prove the point.

IMHO, libertarians damage their own image with the example they set.

That is not an honest opinion. It's a juvenile little whine that you've repeated here ad nauseum.

Grow up. Join the RLC.

Its a serious movement. Ask JR:

Do you mean the REPUBLICAN LIBERTY CAUCUS? You must be a GOP shill.

[Consort]

Is it time to co-a-lit?

[Texasforever]

Not when you are advertising it.

The majority of libertarians on this forum and elsewhere are moral liberals.

  If they were social conservatives, ie moralists, lifestyle police,
  etc., then they wouldn't be very good libertarians.  Libertarians
  are usually fiscal conservatives, socially liberal.

I'm sure the small "l" libertarains are not like this to a
large extent, but regardless it overshadows the entire movement with a black cloud.

No, it isn't a black cloud.  It's what distinguishes them from
those who would enshrine their morals in the laws of the
land and dictate how everyone else should live, for
their own good, of course.

You boozing it up again little tex ? -- That was a really weird comment.

Suit yourself. - FR doesn't need you.

Yeah we are a real socially repressive society alright. I guess you mean the religious police that knock down your door to drag you to church every Sunday?

Go away BushBOT.

Oh, I don't know.  How about the ones that
will come to your door, put a gun in your
face, and haul you away for something you
put in your body?  Or maybe you mean the ones
that will arrest you for what you do in the privacy
of your own bedroom, though common decency
seems to be putting a lot of those laws in the
trash where they belong.  Of course,
you could be referring to the ones that
send you to jail for engaging another
adult in sex for an exchange of value.

Go away, little texas brother to BIG BROTHER.

Riiight. Lifestyle police. I mean, heaven forbid someone might stand up for a moral concept now and again.

I'd not say anything about it but there are standards which should be recognized and other things that should be stigmatized... like beastiality, homosexuality, pedophelia--clerical or otherwise--and drug use for example. I don't care if the libertarians think I'm preaching at them. I'm not going to cower in the corner while they destroy our culture along with the liberals.

And let me guess what your next post will be: An indictment of religion and my church? =)

Tex, in your utopia, -- where every state could ignore the bill of rights, -- it wouldn't be long before a state or community would pass such religious laws. - Bet on it.

I am going to be generous and assume by " putting something in your body" you mean drugs. I thought drugs were so easy and plentiful to get that the WOD is a farce..... Which is it? I don't know what you do in the "privacy of your bedroom” but I haven't seen any arrests lately for consenting adults. You may have some to share?

[Willie Green]

That is not an honest opinion. It's a juvenile little whine that you've repeated here ad nauseum.

Libertarians lack the moral conviction to defend the fundamental right-to-life for the unborn.
That alone is sufficient to discredit any claim they might make regarding defense of our Constitution.
Furthermore, their convoluted policies regarding trade and immigration would serve to undermine the Constitution.

I'd not say anything about it but there are standards which
should be recognized and other things that should be stigmatized...

And who gets to choose?  I gotta tell you, I came into this
world red-faced kicking and screaming.  And I don't plan
on letting someone else who came in the world in precisely
the same manner tell me what is moral for me to do.
Other than my using force on someone else,
nothing I do is up for judgement by anybody else.

[JMJ333]

Told ya!

Feel the heat.
Good job!
