Here we go again. Another conservative getting into a huff because those big bad libertarians are challenging the "wisdom" (I use that term very generously) of the right. Every problem we have with drug addiction today is occurring while drugs are ILLEGAL. So the notion that the War on Drugs is a success is folly, unless one believes that things would be even worse with drugs being made legal, which is unproven. No serious libertarian believes society can function without personal responsibility or civic virtue. Libertarians only claim government cannot be the source of those values. Most libertarians are not libertines or anarchists in their personal lives. Many libertarians are conservative in their lives and conduct.

Rachel Alexander-thank you for being one of the first conservative columnists to write about paternity fraud (in Townhall, only Kathleen Parker and Jeff Jacoby ever wrote about the subject). Further, you are the first to actually use the term "Paternity Fraud". Why are so few conservatives willing to tackle this issue?

Forgive me if I have a problem with states banning masturbation and sex between consenting adults.

Imagine this statement from a future Democratic Presidential candidate: "I will sign no-exceptions personhood into law if you will unequivocally support artificial wombs." Would you take the deal?

Maybe it can, but it usually doesn't. Actress Amy Locane killed a 60 year old woman. She got three years.

You only have to prove premeditation with FIRST degree murder. Second degree murder is non-premeditated killing, resulting from actions in which death of the victim was a distinct possibility.

A "silly statement"? Every argument made against pot can be made against alcohol. Why is pot worse than alcohol?

No, it is a lesser offense.

"[No person shall] be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation". That is the last sentence of the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution. Under civil asset forfeiture, government can take private property if they just THINK you are indirectly involved in drugs. And they don't have to give it back if you are not convicted.
