Our government was not founded on values. It is a well known addage that one man's trash is another man's treasure. Our Founding Fathers understood this, and rightly intended that laws regarding "values" were to be avoided.
The result of people running for "values" is that a large portion of Americans disagree with those values. The price of Freedom means we have to tolerate others being Free to do what they want. But the benefit is that each of us remains Free to do what we want.
Yet so many groups abhor this Freedom. They push for new laws that make illegal those behaviors which are contrary to their own belief system. These people are selling-out this unique democracy of ours that allows it's citizens to be free. These people seek to turn our country into another locked-down, regulated, constrained society.
Those people who have enlisted in a belief system which denies them behaviors that they wish to partak ein then seek to deny all others from partaking in those behaviors. They seek to enforce everyone to follow their own beliefs.
This country should not have "moral" laws. We have ethical laws, and those are justifiable because they prevent the breakdown of the free society. Those are the laws against murder, rape, theft, extortion, etc. Those laws that protect the weak from the rich and powerful.
But laws that govern the private behavior of individuals are contrary to the freedoms imparted by the Founding Fathers to all of us. Moral laws should be repealed and banned forever.
