Imposing moral standards has proved impossible

November 10, 2012

Regardless of moral views, imposition of religious moral standards across vast swaths of a society is a historically impossible idea.

The moral pandering of fellow Republican politicians - here's to you, Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock - likely cost Mitt Romney a valuable chunk of the electorate.

Candidates who would otherwise have an easy case of pushing sound monetary policies to a populace already hurting from liberal financial initiatives and witnessing the European failures in long-term adherence to them lose elections because rather than talk about what government should not do to improve the economy they are discussing what it should do to prevent personal liberties.
