I doubt if the prison system needs to be so large. A lot of non-violent
offenders could probably be just as easily taken care of with electronic
monitoring devices.


A lot of them could just be released and the laws they've violated
rescinded.



Aid to Families of Dependent Children should be provided only
to those who are willing to contribute community service in return.
Those who refuse to work should get nothing.


In other words; get a job.



It is questionable whether we need a rain forest in Iowa.


That's questionable? I'd say it's a certainty that we do NOT need a
rainforest in Iowa.

Who are you to define "marriage" thusly?


It's not my definition.

It's not Merriam-Webster's either:

(1) : the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband
or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law (2) :
the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like
that of a traditional marriage same-sex marriage

Even those that try to cram the Fifteen (bonk..crash...) the Ten
Commandments down our throats, or that try to force teaching Creationism
as
equal with Evolution?


Since conservative philosophy precludes judicial activism there can be no
"conservative activist judges".

if someone is in a "civil union" or just are a "gay couple" then they
are not "family" and can be kept out of your hospital room if you are
critical.


Not happy with a hospital's visitation policy? Take it up with the damn
hospital!

"There ought to be limits to freedom"
-George W. Bush


Yes, and the limits ought to be other people's freedom, nothing else.

Let me guess, life begins at conception, will full rights?


I assume you meant "with full rights". Yes, life begins at conception, and
the baby has the same rights as any other minor.

Given that you're a man, this is pretty much a non-sequitur. You can't
ever have an abortion. (Nor can you be forced NOT to have one)


The "you can't control my body" argument of the pro-abortion crowd never
made sense to me. As I see it, in a free society a person owns their own
body. It's their property. They can do whatever they like with it. Tattoo
it, pierce it, amputate a limb, alter it any way you want. It's yours. You
want to inject drugs into it? That's fine by me, just don't operate a motor
vehicle on a public road while you're under the influence. You want to rent
it out to a lonely man for a short time? Fine. You can do anything you
want to your own body, even destroy it. But you can't do that to the body
of another, including an unborn body. That's the problem with abortion, it
controls the body of another. The "you can't control my body" argument is
actually an argument AGAINST abortion.

Or the fact that here in Montana a 14 year old that lives on a
ranch can get a license, drive to Minnesota where the youngest
licensee is 16, and drive around all day and night.


A 14 year old that lives on a ranch can get a license but a 14 year old that
does not live on a ranch cannot get one?
