I hear what you are saying, but that is another reason I admire them so. What other group of people have the chutzpah to go out and do what is GOOD for them and say to hell with the consequences? How is it that they are able to further their own goals so succesfully when we flounder about like fish washed up on the beach?
They are able to do it because they are united, and they have goals.
Maybe we (Christian conservatives) should try to be a little more like that...
