Gays are changing the paradigm and I'm the one using the state to coerce my POV
.
The Bible is silent on abortion, and I use entirely secular sources as the basis for calling it murder, and that is just me pushing my troglodyte religion on all of you.
I cite 2010 Gallup polls as showing a 3:1 "conservative" vs "moderate" advantage in the GOP and a 2:1 advantage of "conservative" vs "liberal" in the general population, and my math doesn't add up.
I ask where neg ads being unrefuted has ever been a winning strategy, and get silence.
I ask where cultural conservatives were not the margin of victory in the GOP, and get silence.
I ask where cultural conservatives blew an election by not STFUing (and there are some), and get silence.
I "hate" because I tolerate but do not accept.
I'm lectured that I have to get cornholed because the Bible commands it, whereas it is really the pagans that hold my liberties near and dear.
I'm told that the FFs were Diests, Essex refutes it entirely, and people still hold to that bit of history revisionism.
I'm told that Diesm is the tolerance of other religions whereas Christianity is an ideology of insanity and hatred.
Guys,
I've said all that I can say. My ignore rating jumped (as it does on every "religious" thread), so that's a win. Just remember, I agree with all of you on the fiscal issues. I understand what is happening and how the present system is going to fail, regardless of any politician's views on if the state sanctions where Steve parks his birth worm.
I still stand by my original objections that ignoring the base is bad politics if you are a GOP, but great politics if you are a Lefty. November will tell the tale.
No hard feelings. It was fun, energizing, and I'll see you on the rest of the treads waiting for GS to do a headder on the zero line.
