You seem to be confusing religion and politics. Immigration does actually have and affect on a society as well as its economy, not always good. And a majority of conservatives don't mind immigration, it is illegal immigration they have a problem with. Abortion also has an affect on another person, the unborn child as well as the father, if he even has a say in the matter. Science in class, that would be religion again and not all people who identify as conservative are religious. Now I do not know about everything being linked to politics, taxes, or the constitution that is a bit of a stretch. But I will agree the government does try and get their fingers around any and everything they can. And that is not really a left or right issue, more of a greedy or corrupt government official problem.
