How about embracing a smaller Government??
And THAT’s why the Republican Party will die, and socialism will emerge triumphant.
When you make “conservatism” into a litmus test for religious orthodoxy, then you will drive otherwise good conservatives away.
Think about what you said: “you cannot be a Conservative and embrace abortion or homosexuality...” I guess I’m not a conservative, then. If a woman chooses to have an abortion, that’s between her and God, nothing to do with me or the government. I don’t care what people do in the privacy of their bedrooms, whether they sleep with a man, a woman, or neither. I don’t want the government to mandate anything in relation to abortion, against or in favor. Likewise, I want the government to stay out of people’s bedrooms. I don’t want the government to celebrate or denounce abortion or homosexuality. I don’t want the government to spend money subsidizing abortion, or enforcing a ban thereof.
It appears that you and I have very different ideas of what constitutes “conservatism”. I embrace a conservatism that tolerates all religions, nationalities, ethnicities, and (yes) sexual orientations: all under a limited federal government, bound by the strictures of the Constitution.
More to the point, it’s clear that you hold a very different vision of that “conservative” government would look like, and I doubt that those like you would hesitate to impose your views on all of us at the point of a bayonet. Faced with secular totalitarianism of the Left or a religious totalitarianism from the Right, I will fight against both, for they are both equally abhorrent to the tenets of Liberty. And I submit to you, Sir, that anyone who “embraces” religious totalitarianism is as much an enemy of America and the Constitution as Communism, Socialism, Nazism, and Islamism.
