Conservatism 101:
The Conservative understands that the United States of America was founded on Judeo-Christian values and morals. It was NOT founded on secular humanist values.
THIS MEANS:
-—A Conservative fights against the homosexual agenda.
-—A Conservative fights against legalizing drugs and prostitution.
-—A Conservative fights against abortion.
For the gazillionth time on this thread:
FREE REPUBLIC IS A CONSERVATIVE SITE! IT’S NOT A LIBERALTARIAN SITE!
If you’re unwilling to vote for a Conservative Republican, (and I’ll grant you that they’re an endangered species), you’re part of the problem, not the solution.
Let’s expand, shall we?....
Conservatism 102:
The United States of America was founded on a legal document between the People and their Government (both State and Federal), the Constitution. Whereas, we are a nation of LAWS, not of MEN (nor their ideals).
THIS MEANS:
— Unless the power used was expressly granted by said document, is does NOT exist.
— All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void.
RE your 3 bullets:
1) Marriage is an institution of the church and God. Civil Unions != marriage, but DO == contracts (works for me), but don’t intrude one into the other.
2) I own me and my body/labor, piss off otherwise.
3) Implanted fertilized egg == new PERSON (its genetics are its own). Abortion is murder and no matter which way it goes w/ the law, I shouldn’t have to fund ‘em (see #2)
Just cause it gets your panties in a wad, doesn’t make it right nor legal. Get the gov’t and the busy-bodies the hell out of 90+% of what it’s nose is in and we can banter on the last 10% (and that goes at the local level as well. If the law(s) were made in a extortionist manor from the Fed, they should be repealed or re-voted upon).
As a Libertarian on a (sometimes hostile) Conservative site, I have yet to see ANYONE step up to the plate to ‘be the solution’, let alone BE Conservative. Talking platitudes mean sh!t if there’s no follow through, and I haven’t seen ONE department dismantled yet.
