Support for federalism and state sovereignty is not "left of center rhetoric". (And neither is opposition to religious bigotry.)
I responded civilly and in detail and you utterly ignored the post. Why? I thought the forum was for substantive discussion. No? Tell us again why those with Constitutionally-protected entitlements must fight for them against those who would deny them, just because their own state government may have a low regard for the constitution while another state's government does not? How do the restriction-crazed hoplophobes of Pennsylvania enjoy greater importance than those in their state who simply want to enjoy their Constitutionally-guaranteed freedom like their friends in Texas?
And another question, if a worship of rape, murder, child mutilation and subjugation/enslavement of women acquired a billion followers, would it still be a cult of degenerate, psychologically sick, homicidal lunatics, or would it then acquire the designation of a legitimate "religion" in your opinion, simply by sheer numbers?
