That's just the point, Horseman. Just because someone is not of the same belief system as you, does NOT make them either Leftist or worthless to the conservative movement.
Look, the Right, in all its forms, holds sway over half of the voting public at this time. That's fifty million people, all different individuals. By taking too doctrinaire and dogmatic a stance, we will drive away many of would-be allies. You may feel that we do not need them, but you can enjoy that superiority of righteousness from a permanent minority position for only so long before you decide to actually WIN.
........here's my objection..........the GOP is starting to see Christians as some sort of 'dividing' force.
Let me put it in perspective.........I've read Mein Kampf, and I've read the Bible; those who are Christians will never be an enemy of mine. Or be seen as an 'opposing' force.
That's all.
........and let me clarify one thing; I don't enjoy any 'superiority of righteousness'.......this is the sort of thing I'm talking about. I'm not talking about myself. Please notice my screen name is He Rides A White Horse, not "I Ride A White Horse"..........big difference.
