So if I understand you correctly, your main point of contention with the left is not as much its viewpoints as it is its tactics?
I don't presume to speak for Aetius, but the word isn't tactics, as dispicable as they are. It's the intolerance of the left that is the problem.
Post #40 focuses on the problem most conservatives have with liberals.
Well make no mistake, I hold conservative views on just about all the hot-button, contentious social issues.
But yes, the manner in which the Left seeks to implement its agenda is more vexing and maddening than the agenda itself. I wouldn't like it if the Left's agenda won approval through democratic channels, but if the public turns against traditional values and beliefs, then its over, and my side has lost. But as I said, so long as my side had a chance and so long as we could come back to fight another day, then I could accept it much easier than if as few as five judges decided to disallow such action.
