The problem is, once a nation becomes socially “tolerant” on things such as abortion and homosexuality, it will invariably evolve into a socialist, gun grabbing nanny state. The reason leftists place so much emphasis on social issues, and on demonizing the religious right, is that if they win that battle, everything else will fall into place for them.

It’s not a coincidence that the sexual revolution and the Great Society (and the LBJ federal gun grab which set off the anti-gun hysteria) all arose at the same time. Each feuls the other. A nation awash in abortion, sexual depravity, secularism, and other socially liberal attitudes will become a nation of weaklings begging for the nanny state to take care of them.

It is individual people that have become tolerant of others who make choices on behalf of themselves. Of course abortion is a choice that affects more than just the mother (I believe it results in the murder of an innocent life yet to leave the womb) but some women either do not believe this the case or do it (abort their children) for selfish reasons. These women have got to answer for their actions when it matters most; after this life. As to homosexuality, why is this behavior any of my business? Again, I defer that the judgement rests with God, not me.

Bottom line, I don't buy into your doomsday scenario that tolerance leads to perversion and culural decay. In my opinion, if you're a 'culture warrior' who pursues morality legislation (inviting the government into matters where liberty should trump), you are part of the problem with modern-day conservatism, in my book, and are causing the decay in liberties and freedoms.
