Are you suggesting that because America is no longer as moral or religious that we scrap the Constitution and go with a more draconian charter that will enforce such morality and religion?

 
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Is the Constitution under attack? Are we seeing liberal courts and leftist politicians trashing the Constitution at every turn? Why yes. Yes we are.
 
And is it any coincidence that these attacks on our Constitions (which are attacks on our freedoms) are being led by immoral and irreligious people? Nope. No coincidence at at.
 
In fact - it is expected and even normal that our rights and freedoms afforded to "moral and religious" people are being eroded as we adopt socially liberal policies.
 
You oppose the government "interfering" in a Lady Gaga concert? Fine. Then what right do you have in expressing an opinion on our government "interfering" with a queer's right to join the Marine Corp?

I ask again (and again) - What is is about Social Conservatism that scares you so?

Listen to yourself. You are advocating a degree of government control which is horrifying to contemplate. As has been pointed out, these things you would have banned via the force of government could also be perverted to ban the things that you hold dear.

Government -is- force, a terrible servant, and a fearful master. It is something the Founders tried to keep bottled up as much as possible. You are advocating using that force to do some good that you tenuously define, yet have no idea of the practical consequences.

Look up some fine folks called the ‘Mutawwa’ or the Saudi Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. This is what you are advocating.

You, sir, have no idea, and can only cast ill-aimed stones at those who are trying to help you see. There are none so blind...

What is it about liberty that scares you so much?

What is it about freedom that scares you so much?

What is it about a Lady Gaga concert that scares you so much?

What is it about the Constitution that scares you so much?

A government with the power to ban a Lady Gaga concert is a government with the power to ban a Promise-keepers event.

Government power is a sword that cuts BOTH ways.

Oh, but THIS time the power will ONLY be used for GOOD!/s
