Conservatives go off the rails when they start to want to impose values on others. We hate values imposed on us so we should not be doing it back to the left.

I get disgusted when I hear this attempt at illegitimate reasoning. Among other things, it is a form of false equivalency between what is natural and what is perverted.

But mostly it is a naive assumption that we can have a system where someone's values are not going to get shoved down the throats of people who disagree with them.

Let me set you straight. *ALL LAWS* are someone's values being shoved down everyone's throat. All laws are some form of imposed morality.

You don't get to pick "none of the above." You get to pick a version of morality, and if you don't pick what is natural, you will get what is unnatural shoved down your throat.

Yes I want to *IMPOSE* values on others. Nature does not tolerate a vacuum, and if we don't impose ours, they will impose theirs, and their values lead to misery, sickness, death and bloodshed. We know this because humanity has gone down the path of *their* values too many times, and always with horrible consequences.
