Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people ...

Benjamin Franklin

You libertarians are part of the problem.

How so? Libertarians are trying to save and expand the arena of human action, which is the only arena of morality. Many conservatives are trying to collectivize human action, which destroys the possibility of morality. Example, you lock someone in a cage and prevent them from taking an immoral action. Is that caged person acting morally? Answer, no, because his opportunity to act morally was taken from him.

You'd probably say that anyone who is promiscuous and repeately bears or conceives children out of wedlock is immoral.

I've never conceived a child outside wedlock.

Ben Franklin did.

And you have the audacity to quote someone who wouldn't pass the morality test today, to quote and slam people like me.

See that rolling donut? Take a flying leap.

>>>You libertarians are part of the problem.

They are a minor pain in arse for conservatives and the conservative movement. Actually, libertarians/Libertarians/Constitutionalists/Reformers/Natural Lifers, are so insignificant in the big picture of American politics, they don't even show up on the radar screen at election time. Outside of FreeRepublic, they're never heard. harry browne received 384,440 votes, or 0.036% of the total votes in the last presidential election. Even Pat Buchanan beat out Browne.

Don't listen to these misfits, malcontents and militants. Fringe extremists and reactionary absolutists, one and all.
