Let's start with states' rights. I live in a socially conservative state near Califonia. My fellow citizens and I don't want California's gay marriage or its drug culture overwhelming our state. Any law or court decision that loosens constraints on California in these matters reverberates far beyond its borders (in the case of marijuana, read: commerce clause) and deluges states like mine, compromising our right to govern ourselves as we see fit within our own borders.

That rant easily makes my "Top 10 Dumbest Arguments I've Ever Seen On FR" list.

Your ad hominem argument is very strong though.

He's an economic liberal who is socially conservative. In other words... a fascist.
