You have confused conservatism with authoritarianism. Conservatives (that is, social conservatives) want a country of Godly people living freely under the minimum necessary law of a small government. If the people are not Godly then the choices are: to win them over at the pulpit, or drive them over with the jackboot. It’s not the job of government to make people Godly. The place to fight the likes of Lady Gaga is in the congregation not the Congress. Conservatism depends on a level of Godliness without which, it fails. When Godliness is imposed by force it is no longer a free, conservative society. It is an authoritarian regime.

Once again - we have a liberal failing to answer the question. Would it help if I yelled?

WHY ARE LIBERALS SO UPSET AT SOCONS REJECTING THE IDEA OF GAYS SERVING IN THE MILITARY?

If my opposition to this is what you call “authoritarianism”, then fine. I’m an authoritarian.

“When Godliness is imposed by force it is no longer a free, conservative society. It is an authoritarian regime.”

Just who...Name me one SoCon (alive or dead) that has tried to impose Godliness by force. If if you do, I’ll counter with 10 of you liberals that are trying to impose GODLESSNESS through our society, our military, our families, our courts, and yes... even (and especially) our government.

Just a little thought: what if Lady Gaga’s proposed show violated existing statutes in South Korea, or in the stadium, or in the community in question? Would it be okay to demand that she propose a show that is fine by standards of some decency? Would it be okay if laws against well, being scantily clad or naked wearing meat were passed by referendum or appeal in a country?
