My sentiments exactly - and it is one reason why I have become so suspicious of the "culture warriors" here.

I will go further: These "culture warriors" have hurt conservatives by their actions and pronouncements. They are what gives Jesse Jackson and his ilk just enough to make their phony charges of racism and bigotry stick to the detriment of ALL conservatives.

These people are only for freedom when it provides results THEY like. But when a Howard Stern becomes too popular, and makes too much money, they are all too eager to use the GOVERNMENT to yank him off the air. Freedom of religion? It's only okay so long as it's a religion THEY like.

As far as I am concerned, today's America is a net improvement over the older days. I'll gladly deal with Howard Stern's radio show, Britney french-kissing Madonna, and some of the other problems we have today as opposed to the stuff America tolerated in the past - like the KKK, segregation/Jim Crow, and mob violence based on religious intolerance.

Agree totally. These homegrown Taliban are as distasteful as the real ones. Moreso because they apparently do not see any connection between their relative forms of opression.

Conservatives are forever digging themselves out from under the slime of these jerks.

Amen.
