CTL, if you are not willing to put your religious beliefs into secular law at least be consistent. Don’t cry about chesed (and BTW, by definition chesed is something that is not enforceable as it involves going above and beyond), which might not even apply to Noahides. The proof of your hypocrisy is your statement “The fact that abortion and same sex marriage is legal doesn’t mean anyone in the CR will partake; which is why I don’t see these things as a threat” (which is not correct – see Bereisheet Rabba, 26:5 that the Flood came because of this).
Regarding Obamacare, it is another massive Federal boondoggle that will collapse of its own weight. It is not for nothing that the US has a federal system.
Same-sex “marriage” is not enabling. The state gives its stamp of approval by issuing a marriage license. Of course, one could take the libertarian position that the state should get out of the marriage business and treat everyone as an individual. If any two people want to call themselves married that is their business. In any case, where is the tikkun olam here? The same goes for abortion.
I do agree with you though that people should vote for local candidates on the basis of local issues. Who cares what someone’s position is on the Iraq war if he will have no say regarding it? This is also true of a parliamentary system.
