norm. you know what i like about libertarians. they’re equally repelled by both leftists and conservatives. we can work with that, eh?


Actually, libertarians are much more at home with leftists than with actual conservatives. That’s because they share the social leftists views with leftists. All of them.

Yeah. Thomas Sowell sure shares social leftists views with leftists. He is, after all, a libertarian, and so is Walter E. Williams. And Reagan was sharing social leftist views when he stated that libertarianism was at the heart of conservatism.

Oh ... wait ...

MORONS who insist on WILLFULLY misrepresenting libertarianism as "libertine" are hurting the cause of Christian morality and freedom. They reject on a totally false premise Americans whose votes could join with ours -- we limited-government conservatives -- to make America the limited-government FREE place for self-government and self-responsibility that the Founders created it to be.

WHY, jeremiah, didn't the Founders outlaw gambling in the Constitution? Why didn't they use the Constitution to outlaw homosexuality? Why didn't they use the Constitution to outlaw alcohol, drunkneness and sloth?

Because they understood that limited government is there to protect people's rights to DO things, not to prohibit people from indulging in moral failings.

Limited government consevatives and libertarians are rightly united in wanting to see the responsiblity of outlawing "sin" given to "the people" in states and local governments. Folks like you insist on DECEIT and SELF-DECEIT, telling yourself and others that the only things libertarians want is to see drugs and abortion made legal so they can live libertine lifestyles.

YOUR kind of thinking, jeremiah, is wrong and self-deceptive.
