You seem to be missing the fact that the left has its own brand of faith to impose on society. Their faith is not religious but they are as messianic as religious conservatives at imposing their agenda on everyone. I hate busybodies over anything else and the left is swarming with them.
I did not miss it - in fact I posted here that very thing, and I won't forget it either. I don't need anyone telling me how I MUST live and making it into a law.
To me the right has become too powerful and was in jeopardy of doing the very thing it fought against for so many years - taking away rights and infringing on the individuals' rights.
So, because the liberals do it, it's okay for the conservatives to do it too? If that is the case, then the choice becomes between two statist positions with individual liberty tossed out the window.
