“You do realize that one can be Libertarian and not be for gay marriage, abortion, etc., right?”
I do, that is why I’m asking the pro-drug, pro-gay marriage crowd and pro-abort crowd to decide what is more important - these three planks, or libertarianism.
Unsurprisingly, most are more devoted to these three planks than they are to libertarians.
Abortion. Over turn Roe and allow the States to punish it as Murder. Again, it isn't in the Constitution and the judicial activism needs to be redressed and ended.
Gay marriage. Why is government licensing marriage to being with? Yes, we've gone over the "to ensure breeding pairs/stability" arguments. In the end, it boils down to a Religious thing. Because some folks wanted a religious ceremony codified in law by the State, you opened us up to perversion of those religious practices by the Gays. Give the entire issue back to the various Faiths and leave it there. No more government "forcing" gay marriage down any religions throats.
My main issues are the size/scope of government, enforcement of the Bill of Rights via Art6 Para2 and the 14th, States "rights" via the 10th, and restoring our economy to its free-er market roots.
None of which Willard even bothered to talk about, and yet I voted for him as a protest against Obama. Fat lot of good it did me...
I’ll bite. I’m assuming you are a conservative, so can you explain to me where you find the powers in the constitution for the federal government to perform the following actions.
1. Tell me what substances I can/cannot ingest.
2. Tell me with whom I can/cannot enter a legally binding contract (marriage)
Since I know you can’t. I’ll direct you to Federalist #45.
