[quote]15. Traditional family values are encouraged.[/quote] So we should go back to the time where women couldn't vote, they are the property of the man and they have to stay home? Also lets say a wild bill makes it to the Tea Party congress and even to the president. This bill is for legalizing gay marriage for the whole country. Would they pass it or down vote it? If they down vote it wouldn't that defeat the Government being downsized things because that would mean the Government still has a big presence in your lives for things that it shouldn't?
