Actually, conservative lawyers are defending the right of homosexuals to marry in California and one of them very succinctly explained why popular opinion does not matter, the Constitution applies to everyone there are no exceptions in it and civil rights are not up for a vote and never really have been

In the Bush years the conservatives were after adult companies. I'm sure you know they're opposed to pornography and were opposed to the Lawrence vs Texas in which the Supreme Court stated the government has no right to be in your bedroom. And conservatives objected saying basically that they can legislate what people do in their own homes for the greater good, to you know protect the children from pornos and what not.

My partner's parents both are very conservative and think TV should be censored, his mother even says everyone should be watching the religious channels. THey think the Bible must be taught at school not by choice but by force ie all kids must learn in, it won't be an electable class. They America is a Christian nation and all the secularism has to go - 10 commandments must be shown publicly, prayer in school must be mandatory, and so on. They even support all these fallen preachers by sending them money and to them it's no problem as long as the preachers work for the Christian cause

But yes, liberal democrats do believe that they can tell you what to do, many openly state so. In its current form the GOP also actively endorses meddling in people's lives.

They both legislate morality but from a different point of view.

Libertarians are more the ones who don't believe you should legislate what people can and can't do.

Abortion is a mute point - the Constitution gives you a right to your body and do to it as you please - man or woman. If a woman wants to have an abortion ok, that doesn't affect me, it doesn't force me to have an abortion. It simply states have one if you want to. It doesn't affect conservatives because you can elect NOT to have an abortion if you don't want it. And simply because it's illegal doesn't mean the woman won't abort anyways.

What is wrong with mandating food labels? Not that the sheep care, but I care. I don't like eating food that has fake food dies, corn sugar crap and other such additives. Again here, it doesn't prevent you from eating it, just don't read the label. I want to know what's in my food.
