Gay marriage legalization, illicit drug legalization, abortion rights, etc

My apologies if I confused you with a different person from the Hyles forum. I thought you had somewhat frequently cited Lew Rockwell in agreement with that ideology.

During the McCain/Romney years I got into Libertarianism. I still lean that way but I never saw that it conflicted with Christianity. If you asked most Libertarians on whether gay marriage should be legal or not the most common answer would be "It's wrong to assume the government should be in the marriage business at all". I wouldn't claim my marriage valid because a govt official recognized but rather because my church recognized it.
On abortion about 30% of libertarians oppose it, however, it would likely be close to 100% that would oppose govt paid abortions, which would make them more conservative than a lot of our "conservative" candidates.
I somewhat oppose the war on drugs not because I think you should use drugs but because of liberties that have been curtailed in the name of the war on drugs. You travel through the wrong state with a large sum of cash and it will be confiscated until you can prove it was obtained through the drug trade. If you sell drugs out of your mothers house with or without her knowledge her house can be confiscated.

I think a hard fast political position is fraught with peril. Certainly, I can relate to a libertarian point of view because of my conservativism; the government has no place dictating the minutiae of my life but I am also aware that no man is an island and personal sin often carries sociatal consequences.
