What does this have to do with the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT??

If people want stricter laws against porn or alcohol or whatever at the local level, they can make stricter laws. I've been in "dry counties" before when I traveled. Under the Constitution, the federal government is not authorized to run people's lives. If you are seriously calling for more federal control over individuals' lives, you should consider switching to the Democrat Party.

I am calling for more federal control of illegal immigration and our national borders. I am getting the impression that Ron Paul supporters think the federal government should have less control over these problems rather than more control.

I wasn't talking about the pre-revolutionary days but rather the post-revolutionary era when there were laws sanctioning against adultery and other forms of sexual deviancy. There was much less sexual freedom in the early 1800's than now.

This is NOT calling for "more federal control of illegal immigration and our national borders'. This is asking for a return to the Victorian era....aka as legislating morality.

"The government cannot protect people from themselves otherwise it becomes tyranny" - paraphrase from Ron Paul

I think, our Constitution EMPOWERS THE STATES.
In my opinion I want the Federal goverment out of my life.

Do they have to criminalize gays and lesoians too
And what about religion liberty, woukd it be a crime other religion than yours ?

Time to close this thread.

why?

liberty under the law

Isn't that an oxymoron?

You are all over the map, dude.

Yes, the federal government should be securing our borders. It's one of the few things they should be doing!
