Liberals force their immorality on us and our kids and makes us pay for it.

Is undoing that is just as bad?

The problem is that what you consider immoral, the left considers just and righteous. And vice versa.

So, if you have the government *FORCING* what you consider immorality, you *WILL* fight to the death to stop it.

And the left *WILL* do so just as much as we will.

The only way for a nation such as ours to thrive is to recognize that, just like our founding fathers did. Which is to get the government the heck out it.

The upshot is that regardless of left or right, the government needs to butt out.

And Santorum most patently does *NOT* believe it that concept. Just compare the two quotes below to see the difference (heck, the last bit sounds *EXACTLY* like Hillary Clinton with her 'It takes a village' cr@p):

Santorum:
“This whole idea of personal autonomy, well I don’t think most conservatives hold that point of view. Some do. They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do, government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulations low, that we shouldn’t get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn’t get involved in cultural issues. You know, people should do whatever they want. Well, that is not how traditional conservatives view the world and I think most conservatives understand that individuals can’t go it alone.”

Reagan:
"I'm convinced that today the majority of Americans want what those first Americans wanted: A better life for themselves and their children; a minimum of government authority. Very simply, they want to be left alone in peace and safety to take care of the family by earning an honest dollar and putting away some savings. This may not sound too exciting, but there is something magnificent about it. On the farm, on the street corner, in the factory and in the kitchen, millions of us ask nothing more, but certainly nothing less than to live our own lives according to our values — at peace with ourselves, our neighbors and the world.

Undoing it isn't bad no. Reversing it as opposed to undoing it, yes just as bad.

Example: If the Dr. Pepper drinkers are told by the government that they must drink Pepsi, the solution is to just repeal the law. However, there will be some Pepsi drinkers who'll want to simply reverse the law and force everyone to drink Pepsi. It's just as wrong.

Government can only compel the citizenry by force, and force should always be kept to a minimum. There are times when it is legitimate to codify moral positions complete with punitive measures enforced by the state, but there are times when it is not.
