” So, you think that it’s conservative to be against personal freedom?!’
You can’t be serious. Social conservatism is founded on telling other people how to live.
But for the most part it’s their own chose.
So are you advocating brownshirt tactics? Do you believe social conservatism is actually that fascistic?
It is sad to see forms of "New Speak," cropping into this forum. Conservatism is about conserving, not adopting new restrictions. Social conservatism may support traditional restrictions--such as enforcing laws against theft, rape, assault, etc..--but it is about conserving the values and cultural achievements of the particular society involved. Words have meanings that should be respected.
Primary among the social values of traditional America, are the treasured personal liberties and personal independence of the American citizen. Social Conservatism in America is very closely allied to the Libertarian values of the Founding Fathers.
