In what way. I don't necessarily disagree, but I hear a lot of talk about the "Religious Right" without what it is.

Some (and certainly not all) members of the religious right seem to support increased government intrusiveness. I am certainly not opposed to people making an argument in favor of an improved moral climate in this country. I get off the ride when they propose using government to impose such increased morality.

As an example, some Freepers have come out in favor of re-criminalizing consensual same-sex sodomy. As another example, a friend of mine works as a prosecutor over at DOJ, dealing with child porn cases. During the Ashcroft years, prosecutors were pulled off of child porn cases to prosecute "simple" obscenity (porn involving consenting adults that's more extreme than the mainstream stuff).

On that, I agree with you.

That said, I oftentimes get lumped in with the "Religious Right" because I am pro-life and pro-2a.(For some reason, gun issue gets thrown in there)
