I do know that to be conservative not to very long ago meant that you agreed with religious people more than leftists.

So leftists are NOT religious? I have a cousin married to a USC professor that's a born again Christian. She's a leftist and AntiWar - all the rest. I'm not very religious and consider myself rather conservative and HARD CORE Republican. That you believed freely available pornography was bad for people and society, not a "right" of the people. That drugs were harmful to people and society, not a "right" for the people. That true freedom is the right of society to restrict that which does harm, not encourage it.

IMO these issues you raise have NOTHING - ZERO to do with politics. They are personal, religious convinctions in nature. Pornography is not harmful to adults. Many of us use alcohol, cigarettes, grass... I have no problem with you and your beliefs and I grant you the RIGHT to believe them, but please don't expect me not to look at Playboy or smoke a little grass.

Sure some leftists are religous. Look at Bill and Hillary. Bill has a Bible bigger than a coffee book table.

That's nice. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, you're right. Same with bestiality, prostitution and kiddie porn...which will be the next targets of the left as soon as they convince enough "conservatives" that these are patriotic causes.
