I thought they were states rights issues as well but this group wants the Government nanny state it looks like. As long as I can remember states rights were a conservative cause!
This confused me for a long time, because I, like you, thought it was a lot of states' rights issues; and then it came to me, they don't want ANY religion in the schools, except the ones they like.
And they don't want ANY sex education in school, except the one they agree with.
You get the picture.
And that's when I realized how ironic it is that some of them keep posting "you can't tell the difference between the GOP and the DNC."
Because you can't.
Not with the "purists"! And they don't want a president, either, they want a benevolent dictator!
