It's funny how liberals prioritize certain issues. Kinda meh about the national debt, jobs, and foreign policy, but criticize premarital sex or homosexuality and its a call to action!!
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, keep our regulations low, that we shouldn’t get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn’t get involved in cultural issues.
That is not how traditional conservatives view the world. There is no such society that I’m aware of, where we’ve had radical individualism and that it succeeds as a culture.”
It's funny how republicans supposedly want the government to leave them alone.
Right. I'm not denying the inconsistency between advocating for small government and for more federal intervention on social issues. I just think its funny that
these are the issues liberals really get bent out of shape over. These, and pot legalization. I've actually got a liberal friend who says's he's "fiscally conservative" but still supports Obama because of the gay marriage issue. He's not even gay, just a liberal with some seriously messed up priorities.
And while there are certainly "social conservatives" who put these types of issues first and foremost, Santorum being one of them, they have largely taken a back seat in the GOP recently. Most GOP politicians are focusing on the debt and jobs, as they should be. The Tea Party has refused to even touch social issues, for good reason.
Liberals are funny people.
