Iqbal,

Some things may be different to you than to most Americans.

For instance, you say "a 'liberal- left leaning government'... does help secure menacing egalitarianism within a society e.g. by aligning ‘guys marriages’ to straight marriages but at the expense of rare human urge to procreate."

Americans do not believe egalitarianism to be a menace. We consider it to be one of the ideal pillars of a just society. We fought an extremely bloody civil war over this principle. He is what our President said at the height of that war, in memory of the brave men who fought and died at Gettysburg:

"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." --Abraham Lincoln

I'll take Lincoln to Latif any day of the week.

As to the ridiculous notion that procreation is a rare urge, I'll let your words and the reality of population demographics stand in sharp contrast.
