Stem cell funding by the government may be unnecessary, but why fund stem cell research using only certain kinds of stem cells? Isn't that a form of social engineering?
Here, we can agree. Cutting taxes does have a positive effect, so long as the government cuts spending also, and it has nothing to do with social issues. The latter is the point I've been making all along.
Exactly what I've been saying all along. A limited government should not be imposing its views of marriage on the population.
Conservatives are for limited government, yet are for determining who may and may not marry. That is a basic conflict of ideology.
True, and the right to say that abortion is murder, and try to outlaw it, is another thing that a limited government has no business doing. Just because you and I think abortion is immoral, we have no right to impose those views on the rest of society. A limited government would mean that individuals have the right to choose, regardless of what some of us might think. Using the force of government to impose one's views on the rest of society is diametrically opposed to the philosophy of limited government.
Abortion is murder only in the view of some. Not everyone agrees, and there is no way to determine when a soul enters the human body. To brand it murder and prosecute it as such is imposing your views on the rest of society through the force of government.
