Big Government "Conservatives," might make sense in a Monarchy, but it is an oxymoron in an American Republic. Our fundamental ethos is dependent upon individual responsibility, strong local communities (remember the Committees of Correspondence in the Revolution) & absolutely no Federal role in dictating cultural or social norms. The Constitution carefully defines the Federal functions--and none of those functions relate to dictating cultural values to the States & local communities.
For an effort to address the cultural divide, Alternative Views.
