The Forcing of Beliefs on the American People is a BAD THING!!!!!!!

Well, as an overall moderate, I am tired of the conservatives and the liberals and their extremist viewpoints. I don't mind that they vocalize them, but what I do mind is that they try and force them upon me and others. The thing that makes America great is that we allow the freedom of ideas and expression and most of all the ability to CHOOSE whether or not to follow those convictions. I don't care that (insert your favorite topic here) is wrong/morally apprehensible/etc., because I don't have to choose to see/do/eat/etc. it (but I can if I want to). But when you do not allow me to have that choice its like when you tell a child that candy is bad for you--it makes the kid want it that much more, and they'll usually (not always, but frequently) go and do it just out of spite! No, the real way to get people to come around is to give them all of the correct information (both good AND bad) on both sides of any given topic and then let the person MAKE THEIR OWN INFORMED DECISION! Let them live with that decision, even if you don't agree with it, because it's not about you...it's about them!
