Let me try to understand this now . . . are you saying that you reject the concept of Liberty the Founding Fathers intended to guarantee to all of us so that big government might have the power to intimidate and punish children for those things you class as immoral and/or improper?

No. I'm saying right now government should work to change the hearts and minds of the American people and get them thinking moral again. It was the Democrat and Libertarian "love fest" that destroyed the moral fabric in the first place with their propaganda. Now, someone has to fix it before it's too late. It may already be too late, but we could try.
Now, You'll have to find another to use as your medium to push your agenda. Your crap won't work on me. Find another. You're wasting your time.

Funny . . . when I grew up, I was taught that was the purview of my parents and my Church. I cannot seem to find teaching or enforcing morality as a task assigned to government anywhere in the Constitution. Nor is the teaching of morality outlined in the writings of any of the Founding Fathers as a task desirable for the federal government. But, if government is to so, like everyone else, I want them to teach MY moral convictions, not anyone else's. If you do not agree with that, tough cookies!

Do you see a problem with that concept yet? :-)

Okay. Will do.

But, if you have been following my writing for the past many years, you may realize that my point of view is not Democratic, Libertarian or Republican. When I started writing, I decided to take the perspective of the Founding Fathers and stick with strictly Constitutional issues.

So, whether you agree with me or not, be advised that I am attempting to convey the viewpoint that was intended to be the supreme law of our land and nothing else.

So you want the government to become the church. They weren't able to prevent 9/11 and you want them to create a moral populice? LOL.

He wrote the editorial. So now you're disagreeing with his editorial?
