I'm guessing you're hiding dope, sodomy, prostitution, and pornography laws under "moral laws" (and actually, all criminal laws are fundamentally based on moral precepts), so I'll set that one aside.

The remainder of your plate holds goals common to most conservative Republicans. I agree with them. Yet you are a libertarian and I am a fairly typical conservative Republican. How, then, do we differ? What items are exclusively on your plate that serve to distinguish us? Dope, porn, sodomy, and prostitution . . . maybe gambling. That's about it.

We also differ in that I have realistic and practical understanding of how difficult it will be to implement the conservative agenda. I tend to remember that most of my fellow American citizens are not quite ready--nor is the nation able--to dismantle overnight the mammoth welfare state that the liberal democrats had 60 years to design and build. I am willing to work for incremental change in the short term. I actually work at making a difference. I sure don't waste my vote.

Ah, that's your problem, then: a wildly inaccurate memory. Perhaps you might do better if you remembered the Republican involvement in the past in cooperating with the Democrats to build up the leviathan gov't we now have. Perhaps you're too distracted by their ideas about a Presciption Drug Entitlement.

I am willing to work for incremental change in the short term.

Incremental change in the short term? Really? Perhaps you'd be interested in my Perpetual-Motion Brick. It was a gift from an inhibited porn star who created it last week, just over a century ago.

I actually work at making a difference. I sure don't waste my vote.

I see absolutley zero evidence of this
