You have to abandon that silly claim that the Republican party “”Originally, back in the 1850s, they promised not to get involved in social matters.””.

For one, they wanted slavery to be made against the law, just as we want abortion to be made against the law, they were for preserving marriage, just like now.

You already have the libertarian and democrat party if you are a social liberal, conservatives will continue to fight to keep the GOP a conservative party, in fact more so, we are trying to turn it right, not left, as you are.

Your last paragraph didn’t make any sense, unless you are agreeing with me and conservatives.

Replacing left-wing authoritarianism with right-wing authoritarianism is not the answer.

I'll remained focused on Liberty, which transcends the phony left-right political spectrum.

I'm not interested in being bounced between competing visions of Tyranny, which is what has been happening in America for at least the last century. I reject any embrace of Tyranny, whether it be "conservative", "liberal", or any other label...

Ansell, sweetie, I won’t abandon the U.S.Constitution, period. That document gives us the greatest amount of liberty for the largest number of people. You and the left want to narrow those liberties. Marriage and abortion aren’t mentioned in the U.S.Constitution so the power to regulate those are left to the states. And accusing me of being “left” demonstrates how ridiculously destructive you are towards other Conservatives.

You, and “social conservatives”, are making the same mistake the liberals-Democrats-Progressives-communists have promulgated in the past 200 years. Using non-existant ‘powers’ in the U.S.Constitution in an attempt to manipulate human behavior has resulted in terrible laws such as prohibition.

That wasn’t what the framers of the U.S.Constitution intended.
