Let me pee on your parade.

Larry, its your assertation that YOU know mindset of the 'mainstream' that
is precisely the core of what is so distasteful ABOUT the Christian right.
The 'moral majority' was neither moral nor in majority back in the 1970s,
nor is it today. And the entire 'we have Bush because of a failure of the
democratic party' line is precisely what your political leaders are
telling you to believe while they manipulate the media and the laws to
their own benefit, not yours. You'd be much more accurate to say "we have
Bush because a lot of gullible people voted without looking too deeply
into the situation, exactly as they were told to do."

Maybe mindless superstition and senseless rituals are all that separate
YOU from the animals, but I like to think that we have the ability to
reason and make judgements. Based on that last election, though, I'm not
so sure.

And here you have the arrogance of the democratic party. If you don't agree
with me, you must be "gullible", you must be dumb and you must must be
wrong.

Idiot.

If you were willing to get your head out of... the sand, you'd see that
there are extremists on both the left and the right. There are intelligent
well-meaning people on both sides. Unless you got your opinions from a
mountain top, they aren't perfect and subject to be dead wrong.

It is perfectly acceptable for others to look at the facts and come to
conclusions that differ with your point of view. No matter how precious it
is to you and no matter how sure you are that your opinion must be the Only
One, there must be room for disagreement in any great country.

And as long as they keep making the same conclusion about our
gullibility, they will keep seeing the same results. Out of touch, and
out of office! TnT
