In some ways I'm sympathetic to libertarian ideas. I tend to score as left libertarian on the politicalcompass.org test. Their test is interesting because they measure two different scales: economic and social.
I don't feel that Christians are really being forced to participate in activities supporting same-sex marriage. The only case that I'm familiar with that could be described that way is the gay wedding cake case, but that one is a complicated enough case that it has been taken on by the supreme court.
I'm again sympathetic to the idea that government can be dangerous, but I think whether we need more or less or just different government is another complex philosophical that I have not thought enough about to answer with certainty. I have seen people refer to the Federalist papers before and would like to read them when I have a chance, so I can learn more. Thanks for the suggestion/reminder. There is a whole bunch of political philosophy materials that I really need to read.
