Conservatives

I wrote a blog on Liberals and now in all fairness I should write one about Conservatives. Like liberals, there is some issues I agree with and some I don't. First of all, I am a Christian and I don't feel the need for my politics to be dictated by my religion. I believe that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution concerning separation of Church and state. The First Amendment keeps the government out of church, but not necessarily the church out of government. As for abortion, Roe vs. Wade was decided on the right of privacy, which in the Constitution doesn't exist. I do believe that it not the governments authority to mandate what one does with their body. I believe that an abortion should be illegal after the second Trimester because at that point the baby can live outside the womb. If not then laws that protect pregnant women from violence are moot, and that can't happen. Unless there is some medical emergency and rape and incest. If a woman wants to abort a baby, she can do it long before the second Trimester. Partial birth abortions except in the case of a medical emergency should be outlawed, because that is barbaric and is murder. Abortion is a right, but with all rights it has limitations, but not so many and so strict as to de facto outlaw it. The only people who need free anything from the government are the elderly and the young. Everyone else can go out and earn it. The people should help themselves with a little assistance from the government. As for the Immigration issues. All I have to say is that; while we are a nation of immigrants and haven for those immigrants from oppression and genocide, we are also a nation of laws. Illegal immigrants come here because of the rule of law and how that makes for a better life. To come here illegally looking for protection under that very law is racist and counter-productive. We as American citizens have to abide by the law, all the law, we don't have the choice to pick and choose whicj ones to obey and not to obey based om whether we like it or not. We live in an advanced society, where we enjoy protections and rights, the onlything we have to do is obey the law and we can partake of those rights and protections. What kind of message does it send to a person when we let them break the law to come here and live. Not a good message.
