All social issues should be left to the STATE level!
Federalism works just like that.
It’s about time for the Republican Party to stand up and SHRINK THE GODZILLA FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!
A fiscally conservative government, according to Reagan, is the best way to encourage the people to re-assess their lives and focus on what is socially “fulfilling” and good ... strong family!
Please read what Ghost of Philip Marlowe wrote:
Perhaps what you are overlooking is that the left has artfully intertwined all of those social issues into spending at the federal government. They did so for the express purpose that you have to support both, the governments involvement and those particular socially targeted groups.
You can not undo the government aspect without addressing the social issues of those groups backed by the government spending.
If the Tea Party does not understand this, they are doomed to failure.
