If it makes you feel better...I agree with you 100% philosophically. In addition, I live and have always lived that way myself because as a Christian it is the only lifestyle that squares with what is asked of us. I have only slept with my husband...and that was AFTER we were married. (Sorry, I know, too much information.) He is my first husband, and, God-willing my ONLY husband for the rest of our lives.

That said, I do not hold others to that standard in order call themselves conservatives. Conservatism is not religion. It is a political belief system open to many interpretations and committed to very specific government/civic related goals.

Therefore, while I agree with your post wholeheartedly regarding sex within the confines of marriage for myself, I am not in any way going to hold a basically areligous man like Rush to that standard. (Although if he asked, I would certainly share my position.)

God gave ALL of us free will. Therefore, I respect that, especially constitutionally.
