You are upset that the left uses government to force their morality on you. So, you’re response is to pick someone that wants to use government to force their morality on you. Tell me again how that makes *ANY* sort of sense!?!

Your mistake is thinking that the ethical system based on Christian tradition we have enjoyed for 220-odd years is the moral equivalent of the depraved culture of death ethical system our leaders are instituting now.

If you can't bring yourself to stand up for traditional morality, you will have immorality forced on you. History is rife with examples.

Well, to a lefty, theirs is superior... and they’ll take up arms to defend it.

To a conservative, ours is better... and we’ll take up arms to defend it.

So... as our founding fathers understood, we are not a homogeneous nation, with one set of ethics/morals/mores that all ascribe to. Therefore, do as they did, which was to leave those issues to the regional level.

After all, the plantation owners of Virginia found the New England Puritans to be strange... and the Puritans found Virginians to be far too permissive. And while the names and places may have changed in the past 200+ years, the heterogeneous nature of American society hasn’t.
