Way to put it out there Yznhymr, I may not agree with all of it, but I'm impressed nonetheless.
Especially when its so popular to vote for "Change" no matter how empty the promises of it.

Interesting post Yznhymr, although I don't see how being pushed around by the moral majority (the use of majority depends on how loose the definition of 'moral') is any better than being pushed around by 'godless liberals'.
Maybe I want my kid to have real sex education and don't want the government to discriminate in it's funding. Maybe I like science based on actual science. Maybe I like choice. The 'immoral few' aren't forcing women to have abortions, but giving them the choice. The correct term is really the 'amoral majority'. I still remember that many of today's 'moral majority' thought segregation and miscegenation laws were just fine back in the day, and confused intolerance with morality. Freedom is usually messy, and authoritarians always promise order and calm. Personally, I think any person who measures his or her morality by how effectively he or she can interfere with my life is an asshole.

I love this thread. It started with a diatribe of biased, ignorant, and inflammatory comments. I came back with equally, if not more, inflammatory and ignorant comments, and that got quite a few people up in arms. Yippie! The democratic process may not be perfect, but at least we have people willing to stick to their guns (no pun intended) and take a stand for what they think is best for them and OUR country.
If I regret any comment, it's the IQ one. I'm really full of shit and just wanted to make it clear to everyone that I am. If you can't make an ass of yourself from time to time, and get a chuckle out of it, you are taking life WAY too seriously. xoxo Yznhymr
