Entry: Submission Accomplished Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/submission_accomplished#16578 Post contents: @Kari Yes, there is a contradiction inherent in libertarian Catholics (By the way, Catholics bow to an absolute monarch, who is said to be always right on the stuff that really matters, and are expected to obey blindly - hardly the stuff of which Libertarians are made). One day John Zmirak will have to decide what is more important, his pro-Life position, or his Libertarian principles. You cannot defend the unborn unless you are willing to coerce pregnant women into not aborting. Not unless you want to outlaw those who carry out the procedures. And you cannot forbid same-sex marriage unless you are willing to deny men and women the right to choose who to spedn their life with in a situation recognized by law. Something has to give. I found the list wb wrote particularly idiotic for hte first two items (the others are more open to interpretation) In the case of inmigration, Liberty means that anyone who wants to come to the US to work can do so, and anyone who wants to work can apply for any job without being hassled for it. In the case of abortion, Liberty means the freedom to abort. As Jesus said, you cannot serve two masters, and it would be very troubling to find Liberty in the role of the Devil. Sent at: 2008 09 06
