Ron Paul can't have it both ways on marriage

Rob,
Is voluntary social conservatism not libertarian?

Could you elaborate? I'm having trouble understanding your question
in the context of marriage laws.

  But note the very important difference here in the way the arguments
  for supporting Paul have been made:

  Marcy and Steve: "I disagree with Ron Paul on marriage but support him
  regardless, because I think he will advance Liberty."

  Kurt: "I agree with Ron Paul on marriage."

  I don't group all of Paul's supporters into one category. The ones I
  specifically have a quarrel with are the ones who actually agree with
  his social conservatism, because it's decidedly not Libertarian.
