Anyway I remember during his last run for president he was asked about sodomy laws and he was against them, repeat - against. He explained that they are practically unenforceable and when they are it is in an arbitrary manner. Furthermore desire to enforce them invites intrusive government which he is against. In sum he said that unenforceable laws on the books and arbitrary and uneven application undermines people's respect for all law and government institutions and therefore undermined a cohesive society. What do you think about that?
That's because Mr. Keyes has drunk too deeply into the libertarian well. That's the problem with modern conservatism. It's like the argument that liberal Catholics that they are "personally opposed to abortion, but won't impose their beliefs on others". Either you believe that there are standards of morality that apply to everyone, everywhere, or you are a moral relativist.
