Lest I misinterpret your post, wheather you like it or not, OUR government sets the tone for our moral standards. E.G. BJ Clinton, how do you define sex.

It was and is the Christian/Judeo values that established this great nation and it is the subsequent attacks on those values that are destroying this nation. IMHO

You’re post is so full of double negatives, well, It’s no wondner your mind is boggled

[Las Vegas Ron]

And as long as young people see Conservatism as being an advocate of a strong National Defense, lower taxes, less government regulation, liberty, and a firm personal morality (as opposed to a government enforced morality) the trend will continue over to our side (although it hasn't tipped 50% as of yet).

I think you just revealed yourself....bit of trolling, Eh?

[SnakeDoctor]

I re-read my post — and I don’t see no double negatives. But, it is confusing.

Thanks, am glad to know it's not just me

Revealed myself to be a Conservative for a strong National Defense, lower taxes, less government regulation, liberty and a firm personal morality as the foundational ideology that will attract young people to OUR SIDE! Why yes I did.

Did you reveal yourself to be in need of remedial reading comprehension?

[Marysecretary]

that’s right! No sex, no diseases and unwanted babies, or abortions. Sounds pretty simple to me.

It was your comment of the "Government forced morality, our side that kind of through me"

Are you saying that Government should not set societal morales?

[allmendream]

Government coercion is the opposite of morality.

If you abstain from drinking because you feel it makes you act ungodly you are being moral. If you abstain from drinking because it is not sold except illegally, and the punishment for its possession is draconian you are not being moral you are being pragmatic.

Government sets laws. We all set our own morality based upon our own freedom of conscience. A law against murder is not an attempt to enforce morality but social justice. A law against eating meat on Fridays would be an attempt to enforce morality.

A law against murder is not an attempt to enforce morality but social justice.

That's a distinction without a difference. How do you know what "social justice" is, apart from morality? How do you know it ought to be "enforced" by anything?

[Las Vegas Ron]

"Government coercion is the opposite of morality.

Couldn't agree more, however, my point was that "our leaders set the tone for our nations morals. George Washington recognized that the powers given to the Presidency as well as the Government should only be in the hands of Godly moral men...for he saw the immanent abuse of power.

If you abstain from drinking because you feel it makes you act ungodly you are being moral. If you abstain from drinking because it is not sold except illegally, and the punishment for its possession is draconian you are not being moral you are being pragmatic.

Completely contradictory to your premise. Isn't the Government law against drugs the same as Prohibition? Is it pragmatic, moral or is it in your best interest not to be coerced by the government?

We all set our own morality based upon our own freedom of conscience.

Malarkey. If that was true we would have polygamy, incest ritual killings,Adam and Steve, Heather has two Mommy's.....OH wait

You can educate the kids about abstinence all day long, but some of them are still going to do it. That's just fact, and people who pretend it's not going to happen are silly.

So why bother, right?

I kinda veered onto the subject of MONOGAMY, but go ahead have your fun. :-)

[fightinJAG]

No, it’s not “abstinence education” that guarantees safe sex.

It’s abstinence.

[TheGunny]

Well, we could keep going the way we are. Thats working well huh?

[itsahoot]

I oppose bringing the government into it.

Then I suppose you will be picketing your local school, opposing the current sex education being imposed on your children, by the government.

Or do you just oppose abstinence education?

[itsahoot]

Secondly, how, exactly, do you role model abstaining from something that

Well if you are a girl, people will notice.

You may have noticed that there is a direct correlation between government schools teaching their enlightened sex education, and teen pregnancy?

Jocylen Elders wanted to teach body licking and masturbation in school, what is your suggestion?

[DManA]

I oppose government schools.
