Seems to me it is primarily wild-eyed liberal zanies who want to restrict tobacco use and curb Non-PC speech. They would probably ban heterosexual marriages with more than 2 children if they could. And prohibit any public discussion of religious moral values. I understand there are some who want to ban religious private schools.

Liberals are every bit as moralistic and judgmental as any traditional conservative -- they are just moralistic and judgmental about different things. Seems to me that compulsion seems to be a liberal characteristic: steadily raising the levels of taxes and regulation, forcing people to associate with those that they don't wish to associate with, that sort of thing.

Absolutely. See # 27.

Indeed, what is the gay marriage movement other than an attempt by a liberal elite to impose on everyone else the notion that sodomy is something which should be accepted. That is, they claim the morally superior and just position is that we must accept their imposition of values. All axiological questions of justice, tolerance, equality, etc., involve a scale of moral values, of "goods" - of transcendental qualities of preferred rights and wrongs.
