Generally, I agree with the article. See my sig line.
But it should be cautioned that it is also possible to violate the Constitution and individual rights from the so-called right and even libertarian side with the imposition of a strict single theological moral code on everyone and the lack of respect of rights of the preborn respectively.
“They’ve (SCOTUS) announced that morality alone is an insufficient basis for legislation.”
I agree with that statement in many cases. The basis of legitimate legislation was summed up by Jesus Christ Himself in the Sermon on the Mount, “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” Matthew 7:12. Morality includes many precepts concerning abuse of one’s self and abuse of one’s self with others and while those precepts may be good advice, they should not be within the purview of government.
While there is less of that today as the left has taken to enforcing its morality, unfortunately the only alternatives with which we are usually presented is the abuse of natural individual rights by one side or the other or, as the case exists now, by both simultaneously.
Just what does this blog and the hundred other blog pieces that are now up on FR have to do with breaking news? The discussion is fin, just take it elsewhere.
