That is true although many believe due to the unsavory people in government that giving them that power makes the war on drugs just as bad or worse than the drugs them selves.

Please don't get me started, my head will explode or I will say something that will get me either banned or moderated for a protracted period of time.

Sodom and Gomorrah would have had plenty of liberals and libertarians fighting about taxes, but they sure lacked social conservatives.


Would you like to impose a government that would “require” people to look away?

A “TRUE CHRISTIAN” is for “PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY”. Sort of like “YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW”. In other words, a “DRUNK” or a “DRUGGIE”, cannot blame some one else for his condition.

The Constitution insures equality for both muslims and satanist.

Mormons, JWs and atheists, too

BTW, not implying ANY similarities by my grouping, I just like the poetic cadence.

Libertarian Party Platform:.....

Proving that there is almost no difference between libtards and libertards. Neither group can be allowed to succeed.

A true Christian is of course for personal responsibility, but as a voter, he would vote conservatively, not for Sodom and Gomorrah.

Do you really think that Christians should be voting for those calling for abortion “rights” and “equality” for homosexuality and prostitution, etc?

It is one thing to try and survive in a society that is like that and where the vote doesn’t exist, but you CANNOT vote for that stuff.

OK, so, pretty much everybody here agrees with your statement.

You take a micro view of libertarians and then portend to take a macro view of those that actually understand these issues on a level that escapes you.

That’s what I do.

Christians have a certain capacity for forgiveness which has led some to be very liberal.

This is our weakness.

Well, neither we had national monarchy, nor a military junta, nor a true union of sovereign states, nor a theocracy... You can’t argue from what we haven’t had.

I agree that a true libertarian agenda might not tick every box for me as a Catholic conservative, but I think that a drastic reduction in the size and scope of the US government would be a very good thing.

That may well be the post/reply of 2015 so far!

You're saying they are equal. That's closer than similar.

Try to understand what I’ve said, and don’t try to pull bits and pieces of my statement to build your case.

Your poor form and weak attempt is pathetic.

So, in the libertarian view, moslems and Christians are equal. What's more peculiar than that, is the libertarian notion that a Christian should find this view rational or appealing in some way.

Don’t talk to me, you have twisted what I said out of all recognition. I refuse to discuss with such a dishonest, liar.

you guys don’t like your cult beliefs put into plain, political language, you know that it condemns you to sane people.

Indeed, libertarian writings are filled with clever-sounding high-minded polemics on the "rights" of drug addicts, drug dealers, moslems, satanists, prostitutes, pimps, pornographers, and the lowest society has to offer. They don't realize how repulsive it is to casual readers who are not libertarians.

Why do you have a comma after dishonest?

Why don’t you give your defense of a bloated, tyrannical government? That’s what you’ve voted for. Or is changing the subject all you’ve got?
