There are two factions in the GOP. One, which you seem to represent, wants gov't to control our lives, just not in the same way that the Dems want to do.
The other faction is more like the Libertarians or Constitutionalists in that they think private lives and private property are just that, and gov't should butt out.
You could be right that the GOP will eventually fracture into 2 parties, but so far, the majority of them do not want to regulate everyone else's life. I actually thought that most of the ones who like gov't control of individual lives left when Buchanan did.

The traditional family structure, that is with the husband as the head and the wife and children under him, is the basic building block of a civilized society. When that foundation is removed, civilized society falls.
What part of that do you not understand?

What???
Oh, of course, as in we should close our borders and although it is a personal choice, you can't just walk across and demand to be cared for by our taxpayers or it may be a personal choice, but you should not be able to employ these same lawbreakers who are sponging off the taxpayers and destroying our country? . Also, it may be a personal choice, but we feel if we do have 'free trade', it should also be fair trade?
That kind of goverment interference in our personal lives, that Mr. Buchanan demanded. How dare he????

If you take my money without my consent and use it to support a lifestyle that I not only find immoral but is against my religion, how is that supporting MY liberty or having the gov't stay out of MY life?
If you want to support homosexuality do it with your own money, not mine.
