It's actually very logical. You are just too biased to see it.
You can be for the gov't getting out of our lives although you can be against the thing you are asking the gov't to get out of.
Wouldn't religion fit that bill? I don't want the gov't mandating us all be Christians but I am a Christian. I'm for something I want the gov't out of.
I differ with Carter on one thing. I believe that the STATES have the personal freedom to decide whether or not abortion should be legal although I personally am very much against abortion.
That doesn't make me a hypocrit. I don't think the gov't should be legislating morality.
Unless of course you want to be killed the next time you sleep with your neighbor's wife.
