"Very frightening that anyone supposedly "conservative" would support government mandated morality ..."

If not the conservative, then who? Liberals? Libertarians?

It speaks poorly for our society that morals have to be mandated at all. Our Constitution was written for a moral and religious people -- how does one apply our Constitution to an immoral and non-religious populace?

Certainly you don't think it should apply, do you?

Our Constitution was written for a moral and religious people

There isn't a single avowed atheist in any three branches of the federal government, yet we have the most unconstitutional government in history. Funny, that...

No one should have the endorsement of the government to mandate morality, regardless of political ideology.

I think private citizens can promote whatever morality they chose, I just don't think they should be allowed to use the government force to do it.
