Add to that list of ironies the irony that Jews are also about 2% of the US population and compose most of the people in Hollywood and the media mocking Christians ... and would be the first to be killed if the Islamists got their way.
We’re living in Opposite World.
Bumpity Bump. Good stuff.

And most of the remaining 10-20% is roughly split between Republicans and whack-job even further left parties like the Socialist Workers or Green Party.
The Consitution Party gets even fewer votes than that - so we'd better stay as far away as possible from their platform.

“15) Ultimately, elections in America tend to be decided by the “most indecisive, least informed, least deserving voters” who make decisions at the last minute.”
OTOH, if you realize that you’re more likely to become “misinformed” than “informed”; by following events and issues in the MSM; you too might be “indecisive”. As Mark Twain said: “If you don’t read the newspaper, you’re uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you’re misinformed.”
What the Republicans need to do is not dump the social issues, but rather focus on the ways in which the Democrat side actually impairs freedom.
For example, ask the two-part question (1) Should a mother who is considering giving her child up for adoption have the right to refuse any prospective adoptive parents for any reason whatsoever that she sees fit? (2) What if the prospective adoptive parents are a gay couple, and she wants her child raised by a male-female married couple?
I think most people would answer yes to the first question, but "gay marriage" advocates would probably balk at the second. Anything other than a "yes" on the second question, however, would be an answer opposed to freedom.
#21. It hasn’t rained on general election day anywhere in the country, it seems, for as long as I can remember. At least not in the election-deciding blue cities.
Great except for the needless exaggeration in number 20. Muslims are nowhere near 2% of the population (7,000,000 ?), are are instead more like 0.4% (1,200,000), so that the disparity in treatment is actually even more striking.
The reason the libertarian party gets <1% of the vote isn't because of their neutrality on social issues, there are plenty of fiscal and defense conservatives who just don't get worked up about gays, abortion, and other issues. The Libertarian's weak showing is mostly due to the fact that we have a winner take all system where a third party vote is rigged to be effectively no vote at all, while the political machines of both parties make sure that any third party (or dissidents within their own party who don't toe the line) get ignored or marginalized.
