They spent so much time worried about "Adam and Steve" that they lost sight of the personal freedoms and responsibility.
The Rs screwed it by not doing what they were elected to do. Anybody who tries to say that they are better in spending are just maintaining a fiction based nowhere in actual action. An R by your name does not mean you are conservative, usually it means you are willing to make laws based on bedroom activity nowadays, my party has been invaded by fools and spendthrifts, and no longer maintains that your life is your responsibility.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
