I would add to your cogent reason the fact that it is immoral to spend someone else's money (in this case your kid's and grandkid's) for your own money. I think that's called theft. It is also, IMHO, there is such a dearth of politicians who are truly 'social moderates and fiscal conservatives. In the end, IMO, fiscal conservatism is a moral conviction. of social conservatives are also fiscal conservatives (something some of our more socially moderate brothers & sisters don’t seem to understand).

Be sure you pay for it. That is not government's business. If minor parental consent. 2>Don't redefine traditional marriage term. Leave it alone. SSM(civil union) is OK with me if there is no indoctrination(keep this out of my child's class) or glorification. 3>Abandon welfare. Don't "feel nice" with my money. I agree with practically everything. Also I want to see following 100%: Life, Liberty and pursuit of happiness. Freedom of speech. Gun Rights. Don't tweak the constitution. Here is how I see it:

Plus, conservatives must, and I think all but a few do, be against judge made law for our preferred position when the constitution leaves matters to the states. Jeff Sessions will be a great advocate and explainer of this in the hearings to come to replace Souter.
