Just out of curiosity, do you believe that one cannot support a limited Constitutional government without supporting the same moral beliefs that you have? Must a man be moral in the way that you see it in order to see the utility of limited government in the way that you see it?

I don’t feel homosexuality is moral. I don’t support the legalization of homosexual marriage (or, for that matter, any tax or other benefits granted to married folks in general, since I don’t think intervening in family planning in any way is a good role for a state or federal government to take on). But I wouldn’t have any problem with gays voting for a Republican nominee with whom I agreed and for whom I’d voted.

I can’t recall for sure, but I think Rush actually seemed to support Romney last year, too, at least later in the primaries. What do you think of him, now?

Natural Law is not about “morality”. It is about reality.

And, yes, it is more moral to side with reality. (And, good news, when one sides with natural reality one just happens to side with Nature’s God.)

Elton John is Rush’s pal, Rush is on his 4th(5th?) wife, and Rush destroyed his hearing with drug abuse.

He has some good insights on some subjects, but his conservatism is basically only fiscal deep.

I don't think I answered this question in my previous post to you.

In the same way as I believe that getting one's position on life wrong, renders one susceptible to anything; that is, one who has built his house on sand, I also believe that is true of those who get nature's law egregiously wrong.

They are unreliable.

They are Romney.

Reliable in saying the right things prior to being elected, but not reliable enough to withstand the onslaught of power corrupters once in office.

Now the "in the way that you see it" is, of course, either a trap or a condescension. I don't mind being condescended to. So far as setting my own self up for a broadside, let me clearly state that my clarity of sight is not my own but is biblical, taken from Romans 1 & 2.

So, yes, nature's God cannot be avoided.
