But seriously folks............
I was half way done with a very sarcastic post when I decided to just come out straight (no pun intended!) with my thoughts on this matter:
Like Lief said before me Social Conservatism doesn't ever really ever die it just evolves into different issues. Issues that didn't matter before. I mean yeah sure to a lot of people here you might immediately start joking "ha yeah the f***ing of baby horses isn't an issue that I thought about much before!". But hear me out for a second:
In the early days of the republic, let us say sometime during the Articles of Confederation (in the 1780's) when our forefathers drank untold amounts of liquor that would probably be enough to kill off an entire college fraternity, how many people thought Prohibition would be an important issue for debate.....much less be made into a Constitutional Amendment?
How much concern did northern WASPs have about Catholic immigrants in the 1820's? Would somebody, in 1828, who suggested barring non-protestants from running for office be given the same amount of attention as those who would in 1854.........or would they get criticized for ignoring those damned Masons?
In mostly rural and underpopulated 1804 America, which just made the Louisiana Purchase, was the argument for immigration restrictions as strong as it was in modernized urban 1924 America?
In 1938, how many people thought about declaring war on drugs?
In 1960 how many people, even the devoutly religious or black fearing southerners, worried about a "homosexual agenda"?
In 2011, how many people were worried about "clone rights"? How about massive illegal immigration from Quebec? Or how about the evils of Rastafarianism? Or how about internet censorship as part of the "War on Anonymous"?
in the 60's no one ever thought that homosexual agenda would lead to what it has become if they would have realized that they would have destroyed it before it started. as opposed to all your other ones
