First, my beliefs are for the protection of life and personal
freedom. I don't see how those would lead us into unnecessary
war, not social unrest. However, society is constantly getting
worse and worse, so advocating for morals could be seen as
social unrest. But at the same time I don't advocate for safety
at the expense of lowering moral standards.

I know it's not a theocracy, and I am NOT advocating for one. We are a
representative republic, and I vote for representatives that I believe
are representing ME. That goes for national, state, local, etc. I also
know that they can't do anything on their own.

I also know that in a lot of things, my views are not the majority. I
don't have to agree with the majority, though, and still vote my 
morals and conscious. Sometimes things go my way; sometimes they don't.
