Yes losing rights. I have a right to representation on laws to promote decency within my community and not just the personal freedom that you still think that you allow me to parent my own children. You though want to take away that right from me.

EXACTLY!!

Those who attack that right (under color of "personal freedom" or "individual rights") are fighting against that spirit of self-government which lay at the heart of the American Revolution.

What on earth does that even mean? If you don't want your kids to have violent video games, then man up and tell them. You don't need the Supreme Court's permission to run your own household. Cut off the cable TV. Take away the PS3.

Demanding decency in the community when you've failed to do so under your own roof isn't' the answer. The idea that you need a busybody nanny state regime to do your job as a parent for you is antithetical to conservative, independent existence.

In other words, it's liberalism. You may like the flavor of this particular cause, but it's the same sauce.

“I have a right to representation on laws to promote decency within my community “

Could you provide the source for that right?
