I'm not ignorant of this fact, Reggie, and I would hope that the other conservative Non-Catholics would take my letter not in the spirit of exclusion. I simply did not want to clutter up the thought by adding on additional phrases.
Santorum is a Catholic. He was attacked for his Catholic views. So I defended that in these terms. To use a term like "religious right" is overused. People need to hear what it really is.
Only cause you know me would you interpret this as an attack on other conservative religious folks.

The overused choice of words is "anti-Catholic". You lose more than 1/2 your audience when you frame your arguments in this manner.
Do you suppose President Bush is hated by the liberal left because they see him as a Catholic?

You are partially correct.
You are wrong in that I didn't take it as an attack on other conservative religious folks.
You are correct in that it was only because I know you I could pick out your letter without seeing a signature.
You are correct if you think I see you as narrow minded and self centered to the extreme.
