People laugh at religious conservatives who claim libertarianism because y'all are never there when it comes time for things like easing marijuana restrictions, etc. I'm not saying YOU personally, but the jerks on the For Repeal side this time around were heavily Baptists and made claims that this was about "personal freedom" etc. Hell, they keep talking about "we made our city more free" etc. They will not be campaigning for medical marijuana in 2016, though, will they? That is not libertarian. Its hijacking the word for personal use.

Thank you for your service. It's still funny.

edit: neither being a veteran nor studying international relations is a magical cloak that shields your political beliefs from criticism, so don't try to use them like that

The reason I was opposed to it, after reading it multiple times, was that

1) The wording was vague and allowed lots of room for interpretation
2) It puts pressure on small business owners to go against their wants, needs, and beliefs in order to avoid becoming a criminal because of the word of someone else.
3) Enforcing it, in any practical manner, would be a nightmare and give whoever was appointed to do so an alarming amount of power.
4) It deals with a very grey area of law, and society. There is no room for poorly written legislation when you are already dealing with something so subjective.
5) As a LIBERTARIAN, I do not believe the answer to all of societies problems begin and end with legislation, at either the Federal or state and local levels.
