A true free-market economic system would include allowing businesses to fire people for being homosexual. In a true free market economic system, businesses could turn away homosexuals.
And most of them would. But it's a controlled market system in that employers and landlords and theme parks and even adoption agencies risk harsh punishment by government, if they refuse to engage in commerce with homosexuals.
The best solution for this social issue is to remove the government component and let individuals decide whether or not they want to go along with the pretend marriage of two homosexuals. There are some who think "conservative" use of government is to use government to enforce Christian morality.
Then there are conservative Christians like me who understand that Christian morality's best friend is the sparing -- in other words, "conservative" -- use of government. The less government, the more moral the outcome.
Rand Paul is one of many reasons why the GOP can no longer be fixed from within nor any reason left to work with the party. Karl & friends got to you too huh Rand? Ca Ching Ca Ching Ca Ching Ca Ching. The sound of LIBERAL donors purchasing a GOP politicians votes and in the end soul.
Romney is one man. His influence was not Christian on his view of the same sex agenda. It is not for us to hate him. We are to hate evil. Romney is Mormon (isn't he?). We all are given the ability to reason and think for our self. Christianity changes how we think... through Jesus Christ We are to love our brethren and pray for their salvation. Not to curse them.
When we have a positive effect on those with whom we come into daily contact, we are being like Jesus, who healed, blessed, and taught those he came into contact with for his time on earth. It is said by Jesus we are to be in HIS IMAGE Praise God! Amen.
Prayers up for America to return to our former faith and values. Thank Thee Father. Amen.
Dear Rand Paul:
NO.
Amen. Well said.
In other words - we won't represent your views in Washington, but support us anyway...
You ARE a cut-to-the-chase kinda guy, aren't you, Mort? {^) You said in 11 words what Rand pretended not to say in four times as many!
Amen.
It comes down to your Truth Authority.
Scriptures do not change.
Human opinions without scripture change throughout history,
and no one can say that human opinions are any “righter” today than they were yesterday, 20, 200, or 2000 years ago, or 20 years from now, for that matter.
Rand could have been a constitutional Patriot like his dad instead he sold out like 25 cent candybar.
Here’s an anticonservative pro-libertarian article for your liberaltarian pinglist.
Well written, Finny. It’s government that’s imposing homosexuality and abortion on the public, not the other way around. If we accept the premise that Rand Paul actually wants smaller government, then how can he support all these judges who are imposing homosexual marriage against the express will of the people?
These libertines (er...libertarians) seem intent on imposing a libertine social agenda or at least doing nothing to stop it. They don’t respect the right of communities to decide their own standards which is the very essence of “small” government. As far as cutting government goes, the only area they seem intent on slashing is national defense, one of the few enumerated powers of the federal government that is legit.
Thanks. I’ll be sure to add you to my list from here on out so you don’t miss any.
Real libertarians in America are dominated by Americans who are good and moral folks who simply want government, especially the Federal government, off their backs. They include God-loving, God-fearing Americans such as my elderly and very Christian mother, a politically active conservative who voted straight Republican ticket all her life, starting in 1950, in every primary and every election, until 2012. She refused to vote for Romney. There will be people on here who will therefore slander my mother as being a pro homosexual perversity pro drug abuser pro abortion pro child pornography monster simply because she self-defines as small l libertarian.
Libertines and libertarians are very different from each other. However, it pleases the egos of a small but very loud and bullying (not to mention deceitful false witness-bearing) minority on FR to pretend otherwise. :^) If they said to my mother's face what they would say to her on FR, they would have their teeth knocked down their throats by some very angry good men, and rightly.
If we accept the premise that Rand Paul actually wants smaller government, then how can he support all these judges who are imposing homosexual marriage against the express will of the people?
And you're right about government imposing abortion, too. Nearly two thirds of the states rightly outlawed abortion, before Roe v Wade served to OVERRIDE them.
Please do. Thank you. Oh, why not FReep mail me the entire list? I’ll be glad to use it to help you out whenever necessary.
The “Terms of Surrendering Platform” to the Liberals in the GOP-E and DEMs is highly annoying especially when the primaries are just starting. I think some of the party elites want a Jebthro/Rand GOP ticket in 2016 and I’m not voting for it.
The Constitution Party is making more sense to me with each passing day.
Do you think Fmr Congressman Ron Paul would support his son as a VP with Web?
Nope. Leave the pinging on libertarian topics to the pros. You’re out of you’re league there, bub.
You are so right. I’m certainly no pro.
When it comes to anti-conservative liberaltarianism; I’m certainly a novice. My expertise is in conservative subjects. You know, the opposite of yours.
But I will do you a favor. Whenever I find yet another anti-conservative - liberdopian - Rand Paul - pro-porn - pro-dope - morality free - hiding behind the Constitution - George Soros friendly - open borders - all cops are scum - etc. etc. etc. article; I’ll ping you.
So you can ping your liberal pinglist.
