He may not believe in those things, but he believes in freedom of choice. Meaning you have the right to seperate your church from state, but that the federal govt wont do it for you. You have the right to equal rights, but the federal govt wont enforce them for you. If you want it choose it. Freedom of choice. The beautiful thing about it, is that you dont have to agree with what someone chooses, but you can still support the choice. Because each and every state is free to make its own laws, and no state is going to pass a law the voters dont support. Congress may be able to, but the states rely solely on the voters.
