People really need to stop kidding themselves about how many people in the general population share their views - I'm sure because there SEEM to be a lot on your favorite political message board and in your family and your local church you think it really represents the country at large...

It shocks me how many people here think FR is a microcosm of overall society or even the conservative movement..it is amazing how many people here think it is 1980.
