Abortion is WRONG. But again, “YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW”. This idea that these LIBERALS, SOCIALISTS, COMMUNISTS pander: “JUDGE NOT, LEST YE BE JUDGE” is a straw man. “OF COURSE YOU CAN JUDGE. YOU DO IT EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE”. As for “HOMOSEXUALITY”. Not my bag. As long as he or she is a law abiding citizen, I really don’t care. They don’t deserve any “EXTRA” rights, that every body has. Governments shouldn’t have anything to do with it. You don’t have to associate yourself with them, and you have the right to do business or not do business with them. Government doesn’t have the right to tell you what you should or shouldn’t do.

They also are just plain nuts, their social liberalism makes small government and limited government that conservatives desire, impossible.

Social liberalism in a nation where everyone votes for what they want, leads to more socialism and more liberalism, more me,me,me voting, and larger government.

Because I oppose it, you don’t realize that social liberalism leads to bloated tyrannical government, in your fantasy you ignore that broken, Sodom and Gomorrah societies, don’t vote for small limited government, they do not vote as noble traditional social conservative Americans.

Fantasy, in reality the farther we go down the satanic hole of libertarian social liberalism, the farther the electorate moves left in their voting.

The libertarian fantasies don’t work in real life, they are childish, look at the libertarian take on immigration, it is totally absurd and suicidal, it absolutely destroys any chance of small/limited government.

Sodom and Gomorrah had the vote? Who knew? All your nanny state solution has led to in the last forty years is a bloated government. You have had no success in stemming the tide of moral decay and you blame libertarians who have never held national office. I give you a quote from Reagan and you tell me he didn’t mean it. I ask you to cite constitution authority for moral legislation and you ignore my question.

Disgustingly you raise the sham issue of child porn. No libertarian would support child porn for the simple fact that a child is too young to contract. Can you find someone who calls himself a libertarian in favor of such things? Sure and McCain calls himself a conservative. So what?

What you have done is push for more government to control others with the net result that we have a bigger, bloated, intrusive, tyrannical government and nothing but taxes to show for it. It is the definition of insanity.

Interesting that you so despise America before the 1960s and call it a “nanny state”.

I preferred it personally, and consider your more libertarian, social liberal, post 60s America, the “nanny state”, and things are only going to get worse, much worse.

Reagan was a conservative, not a libertarian, even in that 1975 interview with libertarians, he rejects your social liberalism.

As far as child porn, indications so far is that it wins libertarian support, it is just an issue that they want to keep on the back burner for right now, while they work more on drugs.

I push for social conservatism, have you ever looked at who actually votes for smaller, limited government? It is social conservatives, social liberals overwhelmingly vote for bigger government, and you want to keep creating more of those voters.

You'd think that they wouldn't support it because it's evil and morally wrong. But alas, that would be presupposing that libertarians had functioning consciences and a feeling for natural law, like normal people...

So, still no answer as to why you like big intrusive government. If the question is too difficult, ask a grown up.
