Last I heard, neither I nor the Republican Party had sworn allegiance to Satan.
It may come as a surprise to you, but conservatism and Christianity are not one and the same. There is a correlation, to be sure, but not a one-to-one correspondence. There are a fair number of folks to consider themselves “conservative” and who have no views at all regarding abortion, contraception, etc. If “conservatism” means passing some religious litmus test, then say goodbye to every liberty-oriented conservative who doesn’t go to church on a regular basis.
I’m a conservative becaause I want government to leave me the h**l alone. I’m not going to trade a government drunk of Left-wing Fascism for a government drunk on Religious Fascism. I’m not going to trade a federal government that bans “ecologically destructive” light bulbs for a federal government that bans abortions. Either way, individual liberty is lost. You got a problem with women having abortions? Then TALK to that woman and try to PERSUADE her that her choice is wrong. Using the armed power of the State to FORCE a woman to not have an abortion is as Fascist as anything coming out of the mouths of Pelosi, Reid, et al. Red Fascism is as bad as Blue Fascism.
Make up your mind. Do you believe in liberty, or do you believe in using armed force to impose your views on everyone else (i.e., Fascism)? You can’t have it both ways.
Awesome post
It seems like many on FR have lost their sense of liberty and simply want to impose religious facism on the rest
I am baffled by those who make abortion issue number 1 when there are so many other threats to liberty which they conveniently ignore

Oh, I see. Life no longer goes with liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Choosing infanticide is synomous with freedom now! Wouldn’t the founders be surprised!
