“Will government enforce morality by plucking out the eye that has committed lust?
Are you sure they wont?”
I know you are confused now...
Evasive always. I’ll know not to expect a straight answer in the future.
My apologies. I was scoffing at the idea that oh, the market will fix it some other way and we’ll have poor man’s blackmail and rich man’s blackmail like we have beat up Chevys and brand new BMWs. There is no way to gold plate the turd, and we agree.
“Evasive always. I’ll know not to expect a straight answer in the future.”
Ask a sincere question and you may get a sincere answer...
Where do you draw the line in having the government enforce morality?
What is unthinkable and what is reasonable?
I was born in 1959. I had a part time job at 14 1/2 years of age.
Today’s “labor” laws would not have let me work in those days because most of the hours were on “school nights”.
Exactly correct. Why does being a juvenile allow you to hide your crime(s)?
Libertarians like Stossel are every bit as much a threat to this free republic as any liberal.
They destroy the foundations, which are moral.
I normally don’t care for libertarians, but John Stossel is my favorite. You don’t need to read him. I enjoy his columns
I don’t care to read him. A few days ago he and his libertarian friends were laughing on air at someone who simply asserted that God instituted marriage, and that it was and is a good thing.
I can not comment on this, because I didn’t see or hear it.
However, the subtle but steady drumbeat of these two guys (and other Libertarians now abounding on both Fox networks) promoting support for their third party while constantly putting down the GOP represents a clear and present danger to the Republic....and we all know why.
It's called split the vote and insure Obama's re-election.

There’s video of the exchange at the link.
I’m not a fan of NOM, either, by the way. I believe them to be compromised. But that doesn’t affect my view of Stossel’s views, or his attitude.
Well, the Republican Party doesn’t own my vote. If they can’t run a principled moral conservative it will be them helping Obama, not me.
And by the way, most of the libertarians are in the GOP tent.
The video in the link has nothing to do with article in the link. John Stossel and his guest are talking about blackmail.
Sounds like a good read.
Take the distinction between first degree murder and second degree murder. Since the victim is just as dead, the difference in punishment seems to be based on the perpetrators moral culpability.
