Conservative should care about law at all levels, this is just an example of the areas that the feds have to deal with law involving “social issues” gay marriage, abortion, homosexuality.
Libertarians play a game as they fight for the left, but their goals are the same, at the city level, county, state, federal, their social liberalism is in force at all levels.
Authoritarians play a game as they fight for tyranny and pretend it's fighting for the right, but their goals are the same, at the city level, county, state, federal, their social/moral authoritarianism is in force at all levels.
Again, Ansel: Do you think the Federal government should have laws in place punishing a baker who knowingly bakes a wedding cake for two men who have a private pretend "wedding," and do you think the Federal government should also have laws in place punishing two men who have a private pretend "wedding?"
With abortion (which I abhor, Roe v Wade is an evil amorality which the Federal government -- not liberals, Ansel, but the Federal government -- has forced on us), how far are YOU as a "conservative" willing to go to enforce it?
< 1. Would you have the State follow up on every over-the-counter pregnancy test sold?
2. Would you have the State investigate every miscarriage as a possible homicide/abortion? Because ANY miscarriage could certainly be just that.
That is the difference between an authoritarian and a Christian, limited government conservative. Your desire for such ham-fisted use of government is EXACTLY why the Founders wrote the Constitution the way they did.
Do you think the Founders would have re-written the Constitution if they had foreseen Nevada, a state that made gambling and prosecution LEGAL? Or do you think the Founders would have said, "Now we have to change the Constitution to impose Federal laws outlawing those moral failings."?????
