Liberals suck

Ah the hypocrisy--how do you sleep at night?

Yeah, the religious right isn't shrill, extreme or loud. Except about gay marriage, abortion, birth control, premarital sex, unwed mothers, gay rights, gay sex, gays living together, or any other religion. Please.

Both sides have their extremes, but only one is stinking up the political process right now with lack of oversight and control. And that is the right.

See, I see your position as closer to that of a moderate Democrat. But, as both you and I have previously acknowledged, the Democrats are pretty much making it mighty uncomfortable for their "moderates", so you're probably more of a "moderate dem in exile".

I still wouldn't mind seeing the Democratic Party returned from the hands of the whacko left!

Except about gay marriage, abortion, birth control, premarital sex, unwed mothers, gay rights, gay sex, gays living together, or any other religion. Please.

Gay marriage isn't banned anywhere within the US. STATE SPONSORED gay marriage is the only thing not allowed. They can still do any durn thing they want (and, contrary to the popular myth, they CAN have ALL the same legal rights ensured as married couples if they simply take the time to put together the documents).

Abortion and birth control? Similarly, not banned. And there's no serious movement, even among the religious right, to ban them (though, again, some of us WOULD like to end STATE SPONSORSHIP of some of these practices, on certain moral grounds).

Premarital sex isn't banned, either. Again, no serious movement to do so. Making statements about morality as guidelines for PRACTITIONERS of that faith is religious freedom, something you apparently have a problem with.

Unwed mothers also are not banned.

Gay rights? Gays are not denied any civil rights, sorry. To say they should be a protected class is like saying someone should be a protected class because they like it "doggie style". It's absurd, and it shows the utter inanity of your argument.

Gay sex and gays living together? Sorry, again, no bans. Yes, churches do speak out about these practices, but again, it's called "freedom of religion". YOU are, in fact, the bigot by demanding the conservative church cease preaching the tenets of their faith.

NO religion has been banned in America, sorry. Again, no laws have been opposed to that effect. Now if you're talking about the exclusivity of the Christian faith that is taught in some churches, again, you're trying to tread on freedom of religion. If the Christian faith IS the one true faith, then you whining about those who preach that in public forums won't make a whit of difference at the day of judgment, now, will it?

Not ONE WORD of your response had a grain of truth to it. Perhaps you should examine the facts rather than listen to the rantings of militant anti-Christian pundits to guide your thinking.

I'm a rather Apathetic Moderate Democrat....I have similar views to yours...I'm just too lazy to talk about them that often.

I must agree that the far right is just as demented and twisted as the far left.

that must be pretty scarey zoo. lol

Those are the voters ditching Leiberman, and probably because of his stand on Iraq. Expect to see that issue continue to hurt many incumbents on both sides of the aisle.

when there is no room in a party for someone that has a different view {right or wrong} that is damn scarey.
To watch how many other members of the democratic party bail on joe was disgusting to watch.

I know...I'm just BEYOND tired of being labelled a "bigot", when all I want is to be able to live and raise my family consistent with my standards and allow others to do the same with theirs.
