So in your opinion, all Republican’s must be:
1) Christian
2) Anti-Abortion
3) Straight
???
Please explain, as I thought conservatism was:
1) Country and Constitution
2) Small Government, low taxes
I’d say that the first 3 you wrote is exactly right with the other two plus strong defence
Are you in RI?
You see, I guess I’m in the middle here.
I’m all for, 1)Strong Defense, low Taxes and the U.S. Constitution first,..
but I’m also Pro-Choice and believe Gay’s and Lesbians actually exist and aren’t some make believe mental illness. Not that they should be married, but we also shouldn’t keep their freedoms of life commitment away from them.
I am also Agnostic, not Atheist, I just can’t choose one of the 600,000 religions in the world yet but fully enjoy all of them just as much and their diversity.
This is why a definition of what is a Conservative/ Republican is can be fuzzy.
/left New England long ago
From the Constitution:
“nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;” (5th amendment)
“No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” (14th amendment)
The US Constitution acknowledges, and codifies, the fact that government has no legal authority to take life without due process of law-ie-the person is accused, tried, and convicted of a capital crime.
So, yes, conservatives are PROLIFE.
Conservatives are conserving US Constitutional law AND honoring God’s laws-which the Declaration of Independence & US Constitution set out to do as well.
