You are not a conservative, now just crawl back down that Liberaltarian hole from which you exist.

I'm quite conservative, probably moreso than you. I'm conservative enough that I believe the government has no right snooping in peoples' homes. which leads to this :

Why haven’t you addressed the fact that the US still has sodomy laws and always has?

I addressed that in a round about way. The US does not enforce them for the most part (and some are being overturned here and there), and you very rarely hear them enforced.

I'd like you to answer this: How can the US enforce those laws currently on the books, when to do so would mean they would have to monitor every individual 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and to monitor what goes on everywhere 24 hours a day, 7 days week.

We are all pretty set in what we believe on homosexuality. Let's turn the discussion over to how could the US enforce any law against homosexuality and still be the US and still follow the Constitution?

Umm… I thought this was a state's interests issue and not the federal governments concern, or would you and your “conservativeness” deny states rights? But let’s say ole tex is King and it is a federal issue for the moment, if a law is unenforceable because we can’t be watched 24/7 all the time we would have to throw out a lot of laws. Drug use laws, bestiality laws, incest laws, pandering laws, polygamy/polyandry laws, voluntary euthanasia laws, surrogate mother laws, jaywalking laws, etc. So King tex, which ones do we keep or throw out, either way your decision would be arbitrary.

Let's turn the discussion over to how could the US enforce any law against homosexuality and still be the US and still follow the Constitution?

Aside from that it’s a states issue, sodomy laws and the like forestall same-sex marriage, gay adoption and the embezzlement from non-relation health insurance benefits. I assume you being the good “conservative” that you are don’t want to see these things unlegislatable, right?

Face it, your Liberaltarianism is showing, pull up the back of them britches please.
