It seems to me liberals are the only ones with an irrational fear. Fear of what? Freedom? Themselves?
So, let me ask you this. I am a home owner. I own a business, pay taxes, and regularly give to charity. My boy friend works in an office while going to college for an accounting degree.

Why is it a bad thing that we want to get married and adopt orphaned children? Why are you guys trying to ban us from ever getting married or adopting kids who are homeless? Are you conservatives going to adopt them if you don't allow us to adopt them?

True - and liberals are the ones who want to control others.

As a libertarian conservative - I want as small a government as there can be - which is the total opposite of the liberal dream of a government that has an indefinite reach.

How as a liberal do I want to control you? If you get a woman pregnant and she wants an abortion, I'm not going to tell you that you don't have the right to some say so in the matter since you're 50% of the problem.

Actually what liberals are afraid of is facing the world outside without government to hold their hand. They are afraid of accepting responsibility and want to "use" the collective to provide them their security from failure. It's a matter of insecurity that drives them. They have no concept of self reliance..

No woman who I would impregnate would ever want an abortion.

The decision to bring a child into the world would have already be made by the time that we removed our clothes.

Not wacky at all.. Perhaps he is selective on the kind of woman who he is with and selective as to her feelings on abortion...

I know it because I have turned down sexual propositions from women to whom I was not married.

I have not yet married - which is why I am a virgin.
