This shows me you have a problem with religious as well as social conservatives. You guys like taking advantage of the organizational skills and the dedication of religious conservatives, but boy you hate it when it comes time to respect them for what they value!!!
This observation does not come from a bible thumper. I haven't been a member of organized religion for almost 45 years!!! So don't start flamin me just because I gave ya somethin to think about...
I'm sorry if I gave you some reason to believe that.
I do *respect* what religious conservatives feel about marriage, homosexuality, and the like. I just don't believe it is a "Political" issue.
Just like I am against prostitution. But I do not think it should be criminal. That is not a function of govt.
I'm trying to point out the difference between 'social' views and their political counterparts. Social views are fine, until someone wants to enforce them on others.
Socially Liberal simply means, "live and let live", to me.

Oh, you hit that one right between the eyes! Nice shooting...
Are all cultures equal? Hell no...
Only a cultural Marxist would think so.
Some just have an ax to grind with the Christians and the Jews... I do not. In fact, I have very little problem with the Hindu or the Buddhist (I have practiced the martial arts all my life, which is really a form of Buddhist movement meditation).
The Islamics and neo-pagans are another story. Their cultures exist only to tear things down.
Like a few quislings here and there, who have no other purpose but to tear down the conservatives in the Republican party and the culture that made this country what it is, I would rather just openly wage war upon them, just as I would unceremoniously nuke Mecca if given the opportunity.
It is no coincidence Islamic pagans hate Israel, Jews, Christians and Western Civilization. The entire basis of Western Civilization is Mosaic Law, something both the Neo-Pagan Left and the pagan Islamic thugs cannot abide and wish to destroy.
It is truly the only reason some are here now and within the Republican party, interlopers from the left who can only defeat America and the Republicans by rotting the party from the inside out.
They want more open primaries, non-partisan state legislatures (making it easier for them to hide and gut the primary process) for just this reason; like they want in Oregon, like the one Leon Puñetta tried to pull off in California, or some other electoral tampering scheme.
There are a few litmus issues you can tell who the enemy is. Just because they have a designer label, doesn't mean they can be trusted...
