I do not see Social Conservatives and Libertarians at opposite ends of the tent, but rather close companions, each devoted to conserving a particular and valuable portion of the American way.
Conservatives vs. Globalist Moderates /Liberals I can clearly see on opposite sides of the "Republican Tent", and the "for the children" mantra is a liberal mantra from way back. The liberal church may be inclined to back such pap, but no social organization I am aware of is pushing for such un-Constitutional means.
I come from a Social Conservative background (though I am now an avid Reaganite), and I will freely inform you that with the Church under constant legal attacks, There is little support for tracking systems of any kind... We are not that stupid.
Almost by definition they are the ones more inclined to use state power to enforce morality.
That must be a swipe at the Pro-Life position, or the Marriage amendment position of the Religious Right, both of which I will rightly defend as being above the right of the states and localities to define, for different reasons... and the Pro-Life position being completely above the jurisdiction of any court of man whatsoever.
Those are both far different issues than merely bending the law to suit our fancy. Other than those two exceptions, I believe you will be hard pressed to find the Christian Right pressing to give the Federal government any jurisdiction over anything- They are more likely to be found fighting to remove federal jurisdictions.
In this case, massive state intrusion to prospectively stop some crimes. You can’t tell me this is a civil libertarian propensity!
Your suspicions are massively misplaced. Look to the Globalists, who are also working to get satellite control of vehicles, funding RFID technologies in both highway and pedestrian settings, and who have worked hand-in-glove with the Liberal Democrats to bring Big Brother along as far as it has come already. To the Christians, these are all shadows of things to come, and they do not bode well for Christian communities anywhere.
Hey, I agree with you that by far the greater authoritarian threat in our world is from the right. But this kind of proposal is the ugly side of the Republican authoritarian leanings. That’s all. And I agree, the modern Christian movement pretty much realizes its threat from the state and is less and less inclined to legislate their preferences: they’d be perfectly happy just being left alone!
