I also think serious are the moral side and the silly are the immoral side.

I don't think the divide is between moral and immoral, so much as between moral and amoral. It is not that our enemies believe in right and wrong and choose wrong, it is that they reject the notion of right and wrong with plattitudes such as "who are we to judge?"

I agree
When secular folk try to defend the definition of marriage as one man one woman for example, they lose because from a secular pov there is no reason that "equality" should not be the law of the land. All such civil arguments are based on "equality logic" and they fail upon analysis. The question becomes, is this twisted version of "equality" supposed to be America's highest value? The answer is "NO!"

But when one understands the battle field to be a moral one between good and evil for who will control the conscience of America, then to defence of marriage is done properly, on moral grounds. Equality is not a moral option when one is promoting a deviancy. Homosexuality is immoral. It is immoral for a man to lie with a man, a woman with a woman.
Period! End of story. What other foundation do we want? We must stand on the correct grounds and push the "PC" police back.

Bookmarked!
Thank you, always :-)

"serious America v absurd America" is too charitable.

Facts of Life v Acts of Death is more like it.
American v Unamerican.

ha ! Thanks for the post and ping ! ....

Madeleine Albright speculating that the United States has Osama under wraps. We respect the office she once held and resist branding Albright as silly. And thus some small bit of credibility becomes attached to her bizarre thought-process.

I never NEVER EVER considered Madam Albright with much regard whatsoever. What a nincompoop she is ! ...

There are two Americas. One with their hands out for largess, and the other America who is forced by taxation to fill these hands.

Fifty ( 50% ) of the tax-payers pay ninety (90% ) of the taxes.

50% of the adult population pays 100% of the taxes! Your definition of 2 Americas is correct!

I don't I would describe the other side as silly anymore. It is becoming pretty clear that these activist are dead serious, and they are not going to compromise. They are going to keep beating their drums until they either get what they want or are dealt with. Things are getting scary in America.
