Typical of Utopians who seek to make everybody toe their concept of a perfected world. I know of no conservative Utopians and that especially includes our Founding Fathers. Governments, like fire, are useful and essential servants but are dangerous masters.

Our US Constitution put severe limits on what our government could or could not do. It lasted and worked reasonably well until the Great Depression when the 9th and 10th Amendments of the Bill of Rights became invisible to the US Supreme Court. What we now see in the above example will repeat here as these Utopians and professional busybodies seek to perfect their world and drag the rest of us into their dreams and our nightmares!

I wouldn't believe this if I hadn't seen it bump. I thought this was some sort of joke. BTW SES, the 9th and 10th were dead long before the Depression
