You're entirely missing the point.

As John Adams and other Founders CLEARLY pointed out on various occasions, our Constitution only functions if the citizens of the country are self-restrained via an external moral code, i.e. God. The reason should be blatantly obvious: Our constitutional system of government gives its citizens unprecedented freedom to govern themselves. However, this freedom can be used for good or for evil. Like fire, it can only be safely entrusted to those who will not use it foolishly and who will, for example, resist the temptation to burn their neighbors house down.

What many, many conservatives fail to understand is that while our Constitution is amazing and worthy of reverence and protection, it is completely powerless and irrelevant if the people turn their backs on God. Let me say it more bluntly: Once the people fall into degeneracy, the Constitution actually becomes a bad thing as at that point it turns into nothing more than a license to behave any way you desire, no matter how irresponsible.

Constitutional purists who forget the need for God in the equation unwittingly become allies of the left by justifying their selfish behavior. The Constitution + God = true freedom and prosperity. The Constitution without God is meaningless and void. The sooner we relearn that the sooner we will understand the true root of our problems.

I would argue that the abandonment of the Constitutional role of government hastened the downfall of the US and it's citizens and turned the US against God. It gave license to immoral behavior, because if the government doesn't follow the law, why will the citizen? We saw that with the Soviet Union.

If you are calling for more regulation that is not authorized by the Constitution, you need to change the Constitution and re-form the government into the totalitarian government you desire to control your fellow man.

One other point. I can't control whether people turn away from God, but I can act with others to restrain the federal government to it's Constitutional bounds.
