When will conservatives realize that every time they empower the federal government to enforce their views, they’re giving liberals a tool to enforce theirs.
After all, when conservatives ran screaming to the FCC demanding the government penalize broadcasts that “offend community values,” liberals took that and enhanced penalties for crimes that “offend community values.” A.k.a. “hate crimes.” Conservatives established precedent that the federal government can be used to punish people who make a statement that offends you.

liberals don’t need any ‘tools’ from conservatives. The constitution isn’t going to sit there and protect itself if people want to elect liberals.
It’s not that I want a strong federal govt but I want a balance between fed, state, the ‘mob rule’ and corporations so that one group doesn’t screw the rights of others.
