Yahoo! News - 'DON'T IMPOSE YOUR VALUES' ARGUMENT IS BIGOTRY IN DISGUISE

It is not wrong to vote your moral convictions. It is unwise and irresponsible to vote as if a few issues your moral convictions make your concern are allowed to overwhelm the full context of your values and what is at stake.

We should vote our convictions, always. However this is quite different from believing we should force others to live by our moral values whether they hold the same values or not. The latter is not about freedom or conscience. It is totalitarian thinking and has absolutely no place in the political life of a free country.
