It is kind of funny, isn't it? I've noticed for a while that many conservatives don't mind trampling on several of the first 10 Amendments when it comes to their pet causes. Are these conservatives just the flip side of the liberal coin?

Can be. You have conservatives who believe in Constitutional principles over all else, and you have conservatives who believe in social engineering to counteract the opponent social engineering.

Ultimately, if they believe in social engineering, wouldn't the latter just be liberals with different pet causes?
