Alexander Hamilton.

That explains a little

A great man and it is true that conservatism has claimed him as one of its own. It must be noted, however, that of all the Founders he was most predisposed to the concept of Federalism, more so then them say Jefferson or Madison or John Adams. I think Jefferson and Madison were in the large majority that favored limited Federal power. And limited Federal power has been at the forefront of modern conservatism since Goldwater through Reagan.

But if you can see that the Civil Rights movement, one of the first of modern governments 'Acts of Congress' has devolved to the point that it posterchild to the reality that Federal intervention in special interest group ambitions cause more harm then good and are generally counterproductive in addressing the problem anyway. That goes for agenda driven homosexuals and pious agenda driven self righteous Christians equally.

"That goes for agenda driven homosexuals and pious agenda driven self righteous Christians equally."

You're equating the homosexual agenda with Christian teachings. Actually, you're being more critical of Christians. "Self righteous" generally means someone who is himself unrighteous but demands religiosity from others, or who is vain about his own piousness.

Total nonsense, and reveals your hatred for standard morality. Notice Jefferson's statement about the necessity for the moral principles which are the same in every religion.
