“all kidding aside, I think this is the tactic they will use to divide the Republicans, and why not?”
No, it’s the tactic you are using. I’m not saying your heart isn’t in the right place but when I don the label of “conservative” it is always in reference to federal government power. That is why I see the term “social conservative” as a contradiction. Such an agenda cannot be implemented without growing and further empowering government and restricting liberty, things to which I am vehemently opposed.
The use of the federal government to impose a stringent, narrow social ideology is the cause of liberals. The ideology is different, the modus operandi is the same. I will not support it.
Yes I know, The Constitution of U.S. and our way of government it must have been somehow created by God himself because it is so perfect!... Well, I don't buy that. I actually think that if these bright men who created it - with the best intentions ever- had foreseen how it would be used today, they might have changed a couple of things here and there. Who uses our constitution? (Terrorist, killers, pedophiles, fags, etc) and God/religion/the boys scouts, have become some how the EVILS of this U.S.A.
I think Social values Conservatives, should do whatever it takes to DEFEND the principles we believe in and if that means dropping out of a political party that does not do anything for us... Well... we must look else where, that's all.
I say SHAME OF SOCIAL VALUES CONSERVATIVES if they compromose their principles, but hey, each one will have to decide.
