We have legislated morality in the past and will continue to legislate morality in the future. Examples abound, child porn laws, laws against polygamy, laws against prostitution, laws against murder, rape, incest, etc, etc, etc.

I disagree that the conservative ideal is to impose their values on the rest of America. I am a conservative and I don't want to impose my ideals on other people, I just want to stop the imposition of other people's ideals on me and my family. I don't think my kids should be taught their morality in school. It is my job to teach my kids what is right and wrong. They should not be forced to read textbooks about little Bobby and his two daddys and how happy and "normal" they are. I'm sorry, I believe that homosexuality is a sin and I will teach my children the same thing. I don't think it is my job to be the crusader and tell everyone else what they should teach their kids, just don't try to indoctrinate mine in the public school system. Don't teach my kid how to use a condom at the age of 8, thank you very much, I will take care of that when I think the time is right. And is it really all that bad to say "under God" in the pledge?

And conservatives don't have a narrower belief structure, we simply have beliefs. Real ones. Ones that define right and wrong. Liberals seem more and more to think that everything is ok as long as it makes you happy. Then they wonder why our society is crumbling.
