This, folks, is the bad side of the social-conservative/authoritarian leg to the Reagan Coalition stool. (And kudos to Reagan for keeping it in check as much as he did!)

This has *nothing* to do with the Social Conservative agenda. This is globalism, pure and simple.

Hey, I didn’t say it was the good side of it! But yes, using state authority to ‘protect’ children is clearly a leaning of the social conservative (rather than libertarian) end of the Republican tent. Almost by definition they are the ones more inclined to use state power to enforce morality. In this case, massive state intrusion to prospectively stop some crimes. You can’t tell me this is a civil libertarian propensity!
