"Could you please justify your stance on issue no. 5?"
Yes I can.
Liquor sales are available 6 days a week now. Having a 7th day would only encourage more drinking and more drinking related events such as domestic violence and drunken driving. Sunday is a day for God and family, not the liquor store. Most of the stuff I've read on liquor sales on Sunday only show that there not much revenue benefits for the store or the state. It sometimes costs more for the store to stay open due to utilities, payroll, etc than the store brings in. Some small stores cannot afford this and in some instances...Sunday is the only day off most of the employees have....why take that away or force the store to hire people it cannot afford.
Allowing the government to decide for us when we may drink, or whether mere availability encourages it, or even if such things are government business, is statist.
"Sunday is a day for God and family, not the liquor store."
Again, if you think it is up to the state to make the decision what day we spend doing what, what day we buy liquor and what day we go to church, or if we go to church or drink at all, you are a statist.

Seems like you are the one wanting to do the "forcing."
I hope you will not run for congress or any political office at all.

(suddenly feeling the libertarian side of me percolating to the surface) How, exactly, do you square this with the concept of freedom?
