Are you stating that RedState is now suddenly pro-polygamy?

Inquiring libertarian minds would like to know. :)

Married people are supposed to be faithful to each other. It's 2 Unmarried women getting together with the possibility that, since they're not permanently tied to anyone, that we, the men, might be able to join them. Thus, Polygamy is more fantasy material than gay marriage. You really seem to have a funny definition of marriage…

A Republican who has been ardently fighting big-spending politicians can still be partisan. Also, as I pointed out, libertarians who didn't support Bush can be partisan, as well. Sullivan is a fine craftsman of political prose and certainly knows that sometimes words and sentences can be taken in multiple ways. Tlaloc,

Of course it doesn't and he never said it did. Well Sullivan specifically and explicitly called out “partisan republicans” so how can you complain that his argument doesn’t apply to libertarians?

I partially recant my comment on the other thread. I would insist Ron Paul's tea parties were the only ones tried on a such a large scale. And Santelli has had kind words for Ron Paul in the recent past. He was well aware of the details of his campaign and its positions. THE RELATIONSHIP IS OBVIOUS!!!
