You have no idea what an actual POLITICAL conservative is,and are using "church conservative" as your standard. How the hell can ANYBODY defend him based on that false premise?
@sneakypete I have no idea what 'church conservative' is.
I am a dyed in the wool, rock-ribbed Reaganite, embracing and supporting ALL of the conservative factions. By definition that makes me a federalist and a civil libertarian... And yes, I know exactly what a political conservative is.
In AMERICA,being a conservative is generally taken to mean someone that wants a less powerful government. What YOU and other Christians want is a MORE POWERFUL government that will pass laws to control personal morality.
No, in America, being a conservative is foremost to embrace federalism - that the power rests in the states, not the fed, except those powers granted to the fed.
It was the fed that, through the federal court, removed the federalist right to self determination in regard to Sunday laws and adultery/sodomy laws... Imposing a different morality nation-wide from a federal bench
Don't consider it conservative to use that federal imposition against your neighbors. Because that is not conservative.
In other words,you have more in common with the Soviets and the Nazi's than you do traditional American conservatives.
Quite the other way around. Christian conservatives are not looking to impose anything nationally. What they do seek to change is to change it back to what America used to be - Namely removing that which has been imposed nationally.
And rightly so. What business is it of yours what a county in Georgia votes for as law?
A Conservative would say that's none of your damn business. IOW, it is YOU lauding big government federal bullcrap to take away your neighbor's right.
And btw - Sunday laws would be against me. Sunday is not the Sabbath.
