Reply #11: social conservatives, i.e. religious right, nazis, fascists, nationalist, etc -- [View All]

when talking about ''moral decline'', decadence, etc -- define the terms and try to set the rules for the debate according to their rules.

it's not based on reality.

it's based on fear and their own search for power and control.

social conservatives have a goal on their way to pwer -- and that is to control peoples genitals.

it's effective, simple and it works -- at least in the short term.

but people being the creatures they are -- want to control their personal lives and bodies and simply resort to hiding their ''bsuiness.

in the mean time -- as evidensed by the preachers and priests today -- devolve to some pretty warped sexual practises -- mostly because they use the rules of ''puritanism'' to hide their own unhealthy sexual proclivities.
