I don't know, but when I am told by society and my own government that I must embrace homosexuality as good, that my kid is going to be taught that it is good in school, and that I should tolerate a gay scout leader taking my son camping overnight in the woods --- I feel a bit like it is THEM sticking THEIR NOSE in MY BUSINESS!
Likewise, when I am forced to pay for abortions when my conscience tells me it is the act of murdering a child --- I feel that is my business too. And frankly, since when is protecting life not everyone's business?
No formal prayer in school? fine. But stop persecuting Christian kids in school. it does happen. It happened to me.
Etc... I personally feel like it is the social liberals messing up MY freedom, not the other way around.
I don't mean any of this in a harsh tone, but with the cap stuff it might read that way. I am just telling you my perspective.
I agree with you that liberals by far are more active in destroying individual freedom than are conservatives; however, it should not mean that we adopt their tactics and take away the few freedoms that they have not yet succeeded in taking away.
