I’m shocked at some of the replies on this thread.

What is YOUR view, pray tell?

I can’t believe how nasty some FReepers are. First, most of the replies are about a statement this poster said with which he had no problem (blinders?). Weird. Do some people have blinders on?

The only statement he did have a problem with was Ann characterizing the GOP convention as “Christian”. Although I think his anger over that statement is a little over the top (it was probably 95% Christian so for someone to characterize it that way may be understandable) I think anyone who is a non-Christian could be a little put off by it because it looks like they are invisible or that they and their own efforts don’t matter.

People who come from demographic groups that are overwhelmingly liberal or democrat (Jews, Blacks, University students, etc.) put up with a lot of crap from “their own” or from those in their environments for being conservative. Some have to hide it. The least we can do is try to remember they are part of our group and throw them a bone once in a while.

I don’t agree that Ann should be condemned for this but a gentle reminder that the GOP, though primarily Christian, is not entirely Christian and acknowledging so in public could go a long way in helping our esprit d'corps.
