Well, last I checked..individual liberty, which they do espouse and defend, was THE principle this country was founded upon. The organization upholds and defends the US Constitution as originally intended. It’s not “Liberalism with Conservative economics. And by the way: Supply Side economics, which influenced all great economists from Hayek then to Von Mises and Friedman, originated in Austria. Where you get the idea this is strictly “Conservative economics”, or it’s somehow the province, or an original idea, of political conservatives is sorely mistaken. It was invented before Conservatism as you know it today ever existed.

The Americans that created this nation and created the rules were intolerant of what you are trying to push here, homosexuals did not fare well in their hands, they did not call homosexuality liberty. Washington himself would drive them in disgust from his army.

Conservatives support conservative economics, conservatives also support our original conservative and religious culture.

Liberals that just want like the economics of conservatives but want to promote the rest of the left’s agenda, can pound sand.

America was founded upon freedom of religion:

America as a Religious Refuge:
The Seventeenth Century

Many of the British North American colonies that eventually formed the United States of America were settled in the seventeenth century by men and women, who, in the face of European persecution, refused to compromise passionately held religious convictions and fled Europe. The New England colonies, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland were conceived and established “as plantations of religion.” Some settlers who arrived in these areas came for secular motives—”to catch fish” as one New Englander put it—but the great majority left Europe to worship God in the way they believed to be correct. They enthusiastically supported the efforts of their leaders to create “a city on a hill” or a “holy experiment,” whose success would prove that God’s plan for his churches could be successfully realized in the American wilderness. Even colonies like Virginia, which were planned as commercial ventures, were led by entrepreneurs who considered themselves “militant Protestants” and who worked diligently to promote the prosperity of the church.

And, the last I checked the Founders that proclaimed that openly stated that liberty and the rights that go along with it come from God. Those Founders were almost all Christians and Judeo-Christianity was the foundation of the law and freedom in the nation.

BTW, all those Founders believed homosexuality was a crime. They would have considered members of GOProud criminals.
