It just seems like they regulate morality when they feel like it. They want to regulate what you eat, whether you smoke or not. They want to force people to accept the homosexual agenda.

The judicial branch has essentially destroyed the legislative branch. Congress passes a law, and some liberal legislating from the bench labels it "un-Constitutional", and that's it.

Morality means right and wrong. Not only do we legislate morality all the time, we seldom legislate anything else, since a law is usually passed because the promoters think right and wrong are involved.

What those who claim “you can’t legislate morality” are really saying is that “you can’t legislate sexual morality.”

Now the libertarian position is at least internally consistent. Sexual morality and most other aspects of morality are all left unlegislated.

But I have never seen a logical rationale for the liberal position which leaves all sexual aspects of life (only) unregulated, while forcibly imposing their own system of morality in all other areas.

You’re right. All law is based on morality. The only question is whose moral system do we base law on.
