Evidently whole denominations or known groups are rated. But there are thousands and thousands of autonomous Christian congregations around the country whose members are Constitutional conservatives.

Excellent (and quite true) point, which bears repeating.

I understand liberals thinking in terms of large groups, but it exasperates me when conservatives do it.

Yeah, but these groups don't have a multi-million dollar per year public relations firm making sure they are in the newspapers and other public venues...although that kinda bit the mormons on the Prop8 matter.

Mormons have learned that two things have aided their public persona through the years....playing the "persecution" card and getting the message out that they are "special", even though as a general rule, they have as many troubled souls among their numbers as any other group of people.

Spoken from experience, as one who was born mormon and has lived in mormon enclaves a good portion of my life.
