I see it every once in a while from clueless cons.
First of all, everybody thinks they are right and the other side is wrong, including cons.
Second of all, it is conservatives who want to tell the American people who they can marry, what they can do with their own body, and even when they can die. Conservatives, historically, have used the government to restrict social decisions based on their conservative interpretation of christianity. Today that means opposition to the right of gay marriage, abortion, and death (for example Oregon's right to die laws for terminally ill patients). In the past, it meant opposition to invitro fertilization, birth control pills, interracial marriage, women's rights, and abolition of slavery.
Liberals, on the other hand, believe in using the government to enforce social freedoms. We believe people should be free to make up their own minds.
