Social issues are much more important than national security. So cut Mr. Warren some slack. We need to appeal to him and his enlightened followers. We can start by praising the terrorists in Syria, not spreading hate in their direction like that arrogant Bush guy does.

Really, who cares if the apocalyptic Iranians get the bomb! I care about life! If we don't stop federal stemcell funding, we deserve to be nuked.




Hey, I'm just trying to fit in.

To misconstrue a position is one thing. To use your own misinterpretation to ridicule the position you're failing to grasp is quite another.

The "social issues" you speak of (as much as I detest the use of such Sunday morning talk show phraseologies to categorize matters of life and death) cannot be divorced from the security you desire. They are, in fact, codependent. A culture that devalues life and places individual comforts and convenience at a premium will ultimately lose its will in a long war against a relentless and determined enemy (we're seeing it happen already, a mere three years into a relatively low-intensity, low-casualty conflict). It's the nature of the self-centered beast.

Hardly. But please do continue with the sneering attacks on conservatives. Giuliani's supporters are doing as much to alienate the party's base as his radical positions. You all seem to think you're going to shame the base into voting for the most left-wing GOP candidate since Rockefeller with insults and personal attacks. All I can say is, good luck with that.
