A lot of it is guilt based and the mixing of religion with politics really sets off the guilt trips on an emotional cresendo!!!
People really get frenzied and vicious about public policy being pushed by clerics as we're witnessing right now in the war over preachers between Obomba and McMistake and their preacher buddies!!!
Then you throw in something as personal between one and one's God as abortion and LOOKOUT!!! This rocks everything and I'm convinced it even causes demonic possession in some Demonicrat and Repellican feuds.
As Jesus Christ once said: "Render unto Ceasar..." but folks just cannot seem to seperate their belief systems from their politics and it always causes strife in the public policy arena everytime it's tried!!!
I like the story of Jacob's son Joseph in the bible when he got promoted to being the Pharoh's top administrator. Of course history would have been whole lot different if Joseph had of been forced to run the gauntlet of the democratic process!!!
