I am as far from a modern liberal as anyone on this site, and his post just makes me cringe. By the way I say that as an Evangelical personally who is more of a live and let live kind of guy Allen. [/quote]
Cardiff: My intent was not to insult your religious beliefs, Cardiff, but to take those ultra-right evangelicals who have hijacked the GOP to task. Combined with “purity tests”, and the rise of the Tea Party, we’re now confronted with a Republican Party that has abandoned its ideological roots and is pandering for votes in the most pathetic ways possible.
Newto represents everything that is wrong with the Right in the same way that IForget and danielwen represent everything that is wrong with the Left.
We’re a polarized country, with nobody in the middle. To hear thoughtful, reasoned moderate pols from both parties being demonized for their beliefs is alarming.
As far as Newto’s absence: He’s probably off setting fire to the Reichstag.
