What I want is a limit to government. I want people to act responsibly, however I don't care if my neighbor is gay or is a cigarette smoker or if he was a nude sunbather. What I want the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to do is to protect the country, and follow the bill of rights, which means give the states the other rights.

I might have made myself clear, but what is the difference between a 'conservative' (like Mike Hucklebee) telling you what to eat (no trans fat) or a liberal telling you it. I don't care who is telling what anyone should do. I am going to say I'm sorry because I didn't say what I wanted to say correctly. Sorry.

Ok. But what about abortion? You said you don't care if someone decides to abort, and that government shouldn't involve itself.

How is that different from parents choking their child? Or murder in general?

If you are so concerned about the Founding Father's intention: the Declaration of Indepedence says that LIFE is a god-given right!

Also regarding your jab at "bible thumpers", let me quote Founding Father John Adams:

"Our constitution was made for a moral and religious people; it is wholly inadequate for any other."

I get what you mean, but I don’t know anyone on FR or a conservative who cares if their neighbor is gay, a smoker, nor have I heard anyone here support a control on what people eat.
