Re: The culture wars. While the left has been effective in painting social conservatives as wanting to "enforce their religion" the right has not been effective in pointing out how the left attempts to enforce their religion. I don't want a "Theocracy", but I also don't like the idea of college students being pulled up before civil rights commissions because they put an ad in the paper for a room mate and don't want to room out with a homosexual.
I have trouble seeing McCain winning, but I also didn't think he'd whip Romney by 70,000 votes in Florida. Nationwide, polls show him beating Hillary. The national press machine hasn't turned on him yet, but I never thought he had a chance at being the nominee.
Pat’s Culture War speech wasn’t bad at all although he went a little far in some sections. However, the idea that you couldn’t even participate if you didn’t fit a certain “European” criteria which creeped into his campaign was something else to me.
