"When I talk about "right-wingers" I'm talking about the ultra-conservative purists. (particularly on social issues)

You know...I suppose it's all perception. There was a time, when your "social world-view" was considered extreme...and socially dangerous. I understand your stance. But I don't agree with it.

I'm talking about the bible-thumpers that supported Keyes over Bush. I'm also talking about Simon and McClintock and their purist supporters who are focusing on Arnold rather than Davis and Bustamante. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{
Did the "bible thumpers" call Mr. Bush dumb? I don't recall that....You have any examples?
I'm probably wrong...and generally don't jump to conclusions but at times you come across and appear to be antagonistic towards those who outwardly show their Christian convictions.

Huffington is just an idiot. I'm not talking about her at all. She is just a huge hypocrite who couldn't take being called names for her conservatism, so she jumped ship and became a left-wing lunatic. She just wants to be a Hollywood socialite and that means you need first need some friends in Hollywood.

LOL!! Agreed. She's at home in La-La land...
fwiw
"There was a time" is the operative part of your statement.
Now it is the common view.
There was also a time when believing that the earth was round and it revolved around the sun was considered extremely dangerous. Just like there was a time when Witches were burned at the stake here in America, and the right to own another human as a piece of property was considered commonplace. There was a time when allowing women to vote was considered socially dangerous as well.
For better or for worse, society continues to move beyond beliefs and ideas that it once held, and accept those new "dangerous" ideas.
Now I'm not exactly sure what you are referring to by "social world-view", but I am assuming you mean my position that as society relaxes its social restrictions, people must come to accept it, rather than to fight against what has already happened. I am assuming you are not accusing me of being a socialist.
I'm probably wrong...and generally don't jump to conclusions but at times you come across and appear to be antagonistic towards those who outwardly show their Christian convictions.
I support anyone in their own privately held religious beliefs, whatever they may be.
But I think religion is between you, your family, and your place of worship. Period.
I do get antagonistic when people try to shove it in my face, act holier-than-thou, assume that their beliefs of blind faith are somehow more valid than someone else's beliefs of blind faith (especially those who choose not to believe blindly at all), or want to legislate based on arbitrary religious mores.
