The funny thing is, true libertarianism and conservatism never tells people what they really can or can’t do, because of their commitment of personal freedom. It’s the tyrannical left that really does that.

What about abortion, gay marriage, gay adoption, coming to America unwanted, libertarians and liberals allow all that, conservatives don't.

Do you side with conservatism, or the liberals/libertarians on those issues?

1) A child is a person. No one has the right to terminate someone elses right to life.

2) Gay marraige is a government imposition. Frankly, sometimes I wonder if government should be in the marriage business at all. It’s because government has become so invasive in our lives that we’ve come to the point that we have to register our relationships with them in the first place.

3) Gay adoption is totally against natural law. It seems to me giving a child to gays is depriving a child of a mother or father. But my thought on that is you should be able to give your child to a person of your choice to raise, if that is what is necessary. Most people feel this way, and I would bet you that if they could give their child to an agency and EXCLUDE homosexuals, most people would. But in certain areas, like MA, the church has actually been forced out of the adoption business because they won’t agree to that.

4) Coming to America unwanted is a national security issue. National security is one thing I don’t have a problem with government handling.

I guess what I’m saying is, the libertarians are wrong on a few issues not because I don’t believe in personal freedom, but because they misunderstand a few important issues, like a child has a right not be torn out of the womb. And it seems government continually comes down on the side of forcing people to do morally wrong things.
