Looks like Obama will be our future president.
Only because of the moralista element of the party who are now shocked -- shocked! -- that Rudy won't impose their moral views on other Americans.
My view? He sucks donkey scrotum on the Second Amendment. But at least he recognizes it as the individual right that it is, and I suppose my difference with him is the extent to which the government can show a compelling interest to override that individual right. It's an honest, intellectual difference, and he's in a vastly different league than the collectivists or Those Who Would Turn US into the UK.
But with all due respect, he is spot on elsewhere. Speaking as a Christian who knows the place of Christianity in public life, I've always known the crackpot Christians would be the death of the conservative movement. Apparently their personal moral views are more important than freedom and national security.
So to those of you who are now shocked, shocked: to hell with you. You deserve what you get.
Have fun with your annual Roe v. Wade marches and your gay witch hunting. You serve the memory of the founders well.
NOT.
