Oh, and you and Dougy are anything BUT conservative, if by that term one means someone who wants to conserve the Constitution and the Republic created thereby. Because it’s painfully obvious that, with each of the excesses of the war on some drugs, the Constitution is further eroded and the Republic is turned more and more to where the Roman Republic was before it became the Roman Empire.

And it’s not MORAL, because MORALITY, a MORAL CODE, must be voluntarily accepted and adhered to, else it is nothing but more coercion and compulsion. Morality is how you behave when NO ONE ELSE is looking. What YOU are calling for is more statist compulsion and when you want more statism, what does that make you? A STATIST. A big government junkie. Someone normal folks shun and abjure. A moral reprobate.

And note well that I do not EVER insult my younger brothers and sisters in the services. YOU DO, by daring to compare your worthless self to them in any way, shape or form.

Divorcing morality from the constitution, the republic and conservationism is a relatively new idea. Do I really have to quote the founding fathers views on religion, morality and the constitution or would you like to do the research yourself?

Please spare me the melodrama. Liberals care for the constitution like most people care about toilet paper. And if you're not going to look at the religious and moral context then the constitution can be used to justify every evil action under the sun.

And it’s not MORAL, because MORALITY, a MORAL CODE, must be voluntarily accepted and adhered to, else it is nothing but more coercion and compulsion. Morality is how you behave when NO ONE ELSE is looking.

True and false.

What YOU are calling for is more statist compulsion and when you want more statism, what does that make you? A STATIST. A big government junkie. Someone normal folks shun and abjure. A moral reprobate.

Ah no. It means that we want a safe environment to live our lives. I don't want stoners hanging around on my sidewalk smoking dope while my kids are playing in my yard. I don't want hookers walking up and down the road plying their wares while I'm walking my dog. Why do you believe that moral and righteous people HAVE to put up with your lack or morality? Who died and made your worldview the acceptable one?
