Social conservatism is the child of the southern democrats who became Republicans under Nixon and Reagan. On the plus side, they had to give up racism as public policy, and that's not a trivial thing.

I am still reflecting on a comment you made a few posts back noting that some persons had been censured for politely disagreeing with the party line. I have not been exposed to that practice. But I was wondering if anyone has been censured for the religious rights favorite tactics of stupidity, bullying or rudeness. Giving up racism is good. But, redirecting the energy of that venom on me and people like me is unfortunate.
